Imagine opening the GO or Waymo app after a late night after the subways have closed, or stepping out of a business meeting needing a refuge for a follow-up call. Your ride pulls up and you hop into a completely empty, fully autonomous vehicle. Soon, this will be a reality for riders in Tokyo. Building on Waymo’s foundation of serving tens of millions of commercial fully autonomous trips across 15 major U.S. cities, Waymo, Nihon Kotsu, and GO have officially agreed to prepare for the commercial launch of an unmanned Tokyo ride-hailing service in 2027.
