Ever wondered how self-driving cars will navigate the crazy streets of Tokyo? Get ready, because Waymo is bringing its robotaxis to Japan!

Waymo's Tokyo Takeover

Waymo, the self-driving car company, is planning to test its cars in Tokyo in early 2025. This is huge – it's their first time testing outside the US. Imagine the challenge: left-hand traffic and super busy streets!

Testing the Waters

Waymo has already tested its cars in many US cities, from sunny California to rainy Miami. They carefully map each area before letting the cars drive themselves. It's like teaching a car to drive in a new city.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Waymo isn't doing this alone. They're working with a Japanese taxi company, Nihon Kotsu, and a taxi app called GO. Nihon Kotsu drivers will help map Tokyo's streets first. It's all about collaboration!

A Race Against Time

This is exciting news, especially since another company recently canceled its self-driving plans in Japan. Waymo is showing that they're serious about global expansion. It's a big step for the future of transportation.
