Summary
Waymo plans to bring its ride-hailing service to Toronto through a provincial pilot, but people will drive the vehicles during the initial phase. The company aims to begin autonomous rides in 2028, after mapping local streets and testing with trained specialists. Waymo is partnering with Toronto-based Element Fleet Management and says the companies will invest in “hundreds of roles” in vehicle maintenance, test driving and customer service.
