Waymo will start testing autonomous Toyota bZ4X vehicles in Japan in 2027 as part of its partnership with Toyota, with the vehicles to be built and fitted with Waymo’s self‑driving system at Toyota’s Takaoka plant in Toyota City. The rollout is planned for right‑hand‑drive markets, with the United Kingdom mentioned as a later destination.
The collaboration follows a preliminary agreement announced in April 2025 and adds the bZ4X to Waymo’s growing robotaxi fleet, which already includes Jaguar I‑Pace models operating in several U.S. cities and in London. Waymo aims to use the new model to expand its autonomous ride‑hailing service in Japan and eventually in other international markets.
