Waymo plans fully driverless taxi service for London in 2026

Waymo intends to launch its fully autonomous ride-hailing service in London during 2026, marking its first commercial expansion outside the United States. The Google-owned company plans to offer rides without human drivers, subject to final regulatory approvals. While the UK government supports the initiative to boost the autonomous vehicle sector, specific operational rules are still being established. Waymo will collaborate with fleet partner Moove to facilitate operations across the capital.
