Waymo Expands into Germany with Driverless Robotaxi Rollout

Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle subsidiary, has established a new corporate entity in Germany to deploy its driverless robotaxis across Europe. The company filed paperwork establishing 'Waymo Germany GmbH,' operating out of Google's Munich offices.

The regulatory move places Waymo directly in competition with native startups and international giants already testing self-driving technology in European hubs.

While no active launch date has been publicized, the legal registration allows Waymo to transition to its traditional phase of manual vehicle mapping and initial test drives.
