$GOOGL's Waymo Lays Groundwork for Munich Robotaxi Launch

$GOOGL's Waymo is laying the groundwork to launch fully autonomous ride hailing in Munich, starting manual mapping and testing in the coming weeks. Commercial robotaxi service is targeted for late 2027, marking Waymo's planned entry into Germany for ride hailing.
The move comes as $UBER has been moving more aggressively into Europe with its Delivery Hero acquisition.
