Waymo plans to launch fully autonomous ride-hailing services in Munich by late 2027, marking its first German market and second European city, with initial manual driving to build HD maps and subsequent supervised autonomous testing. German authorities highlight existing legal frameworks for Level 4 autonomy, contrasting with regulatory delays in London.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your autonomous mobility plans in Germany just found a fast lane as legal certainty enables early market entry. You need to start local partnerships and map-building now to beat Munich’s 2027 commercial launch.
