Waymo plans robotaxi service in Toronto by 2028, its first in Canada

Waymo is bringing its driverless taxi service to Toronto, its first city in Canada, and hopes to carry its first riders there in 2028. The Alphabet-owned company announced the move today.

Its cars will appear on Toronto’s streets in the coming days, but people will drive them at first. Waymo will first map the city’s roads in detail. After that, trained staff will test the cars from behind the wheel, so the software can learn how people drive in Toronto.
