What Happened
Waymo has started testing autonomous vehicles on London's public roads with safety operators as it prepares to launch a commercial robotaxi service in 2026. The Alphabet-owned company is hiring locally and establishing service centers across the city. Waymo's electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles are being tested to master local driving conditions. The company previously acquired UK-based Latent Logic and operates robotaxis across eleven US cities.
