Waymo will deploy its driverless cars in Japan and will test its technology in another country for the first time. According to, the company will begin testing its Jaguar I-PACE vehicles in Tokyo in early 2025 and expects to remain in the country for an"extended period." During the vehicles' experimental phase, which will last for several quarters, human drivers from the Japan ese taxi company Nihon Kotsu will operate Waymo 's cars so that its technology can map the city.
The data gathered from those tests will then be used to train the company's self-driving system. Waymo will also be recreating Tokyo's driving conditions in a closed course in the US, where it will put more of its robotaxis to the test, and will be using data collected from that effort for training.
