Waymo, owned by Alphabet, plans to test its self-driving vehicles in Tokyo starting early 2025, marking its first international venture. Partnering with Nihon Kotsu and taxi app GO, the initial phase will involve manual operation of the vehicles to map key areas, with the eventual goal of testing autonomous driving. This expansion into Japan, known for its left-hand traffic, will help Waymo navigate a new urban environment and potentially serve the country's aging population.
