Waymo targets Toronto for Canada’s first autonomous robotaxi service by 2028
Waymo announced plans to launch its driverless ride-hailing fleet in Toronto in 2028, its inaugural Canadian deployment.
The autonomous-vehicle firm said it will partner with Element Fleet Management to operate the service in Toronto. Preparations will include detailed mapping and coordination with municipal authorities. The rollout is part of Waymo’s broader push into markets such as London and Tokyo, and it expects to generate hundreds of local jobs across maintenance, validation driving and customer support.
Why it matters
The launch will bring autonomous ride-hailing to Canada, creating jobs and testing self-driving technology in a new market.
