Waymo has begun manual driving in Munich to map streets and test autonomous vehicles, aiming for a commercial robotaxi launch by end of 2027 in Germany, while engaging with local and federal regulators for approval.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 6 sources have reported it between 25 Aug 2026 and 26 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You should consider the openings Waymo's Munich test creates for local fleet and service providers as robotaxi operations gear up. The regulatory process delays your launch timing but clears a path to enter Germany’s growing robotaxi market.
