Waymo and Toyota have announced a preliminary agreement to explore the development of autonomous vehicles for private ownership. This collaboration aims to leverage Waymo’s autonomous driving technology, already in use in its robotaxi service across five US regions, into personally owned Toyota vehicles. The goal is to enhance the next generation of Toyota vehicles with autonomous capabilities, marking a significant step towards making self-driving technology available to individual consumers.
Waymo’s robotaxis are currently operating in several US cities, completing approximately 250,000 driverless and paid trips per week. While Waymo has established partnerships with multiple automakers like Hyundai and Jaguar Land Rover, this collaboration with Toyota specifically targets the integration of autonomous driving tech into vehicles intended for private purchase. Toyota aims to combine its vehicle expertise with Waymo's autonomous technology, potentially accelerating the development and deployment of self-driving cars for the average consumer.
The companies have not yet announced any specific timelines or prices for the first autonomous vehicle resulting from this partnership. However, the collaboration reflects a shared vision of improving road safety and increasing mobility for all. The discussions also include exploring the use of Toyota vehicles within Waymo’s existing robotaxi fleet, with support from Woven by Toyota.
