Content overview: “Waymo to Launch Robotaxis in Toronto by 2028, First Canadian City”. Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle unit, has announced Toronto as its first Canadian market, with plans to start public rides in 2028. The company will begin testing its self-driving cars on Toronto streets in the coming days, joining London, Tokyo, and Singapore as Waymo's international expansion cities outside the U.S. Toronto's selection highlights the city's growing tech ecosystem and its willingness to embrace innovative transportation.
However, Ontario currently lacks regulations for commercial driverless services, meaning Waymo and policymakers must work together to establish a legal framework before the 2028 launch.

For Toronto residents, the arrival of Waymo could eventually offer a new, convenient transit option and potentially reduce traffic congestion and emissions.
