Waymo announced it will start autonomous vehicle testing in Munich soon and aims to launch its ride-hailing mobility service there by the end of 2027, having engaged with German regulatory bodies and planning local investment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 7 sources have reported it between 25 Aug 2026 and 26 Aug 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Waymo's move opens Germany's regulated autonomous ride market to new entrants. If you build localised self-driving services or fleet operations, Munich’s testing phase is your moment to prove value and secure partnerships.
