Waymo plans Toronto robotaxi testing ahead of 2028 launch
Waymo plans to begin testing its self-driving vehicles on Toronto streets in the coming days, TechCrunch and CNET reported. The Canadian expansion will initially focus on training and validation rather than carrying paying passengers, with bookable robotaxi rides not expected until 2028 under the timetable described in the feeds.
Why it matters
Toronto would extend Waymo’s autonomous-driving programme beyond the United States into a complex winter city.
