Nissan, Uber, and Wayve to launch robotaxi pilot in Tokyo by 2026

Nissan, Uber, and the UK-based AI company Wayve are collaborating to deploy a robotaxi pilot in Tokyo using Nissan Leaf EVs equipped with Wayve's autonomous driving system. This pilot aims to gather real-world data and prepare deployment targeting late 2026, marking a significant step in bringing autonomous taxis to a major global city. Observers will watch how quickly the pilot scales and whether this partnership can accelerate adoption of robotaxi services in other cities internationally.
