Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 07:29

Japan will have its first robotaxi service in 2027. The official start date will only be determined after safety confirmation of the service.

Before starting operations, it will be necessary to obtain all licenses and authorizations required by Japanese regulations. The final schedule will depend on approval from the relevant regulatory bodies.

Why this matters

This initiative follows the global trend of autonomous vehicles and positions Japan at the forefront of this transportation technology.
