    Hello Toronto! Waymo is En Route

    Waymo is officially heading to Canada! We’re laying the groundwork for our fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Toronto, investing in local facilities and jobs, with the goal of welcoming our first riders in 2028. In the coming days, you’ll start to see Waymo vehicles on the streets of Toronto as we begin driving manually. We are taking a rigorous, phased, safety-first approach starting with high-definition mapping of local street networks and testing with trained autonomous specialists behind the wheel. This validation period will ensure the Waymo Driver adapts seamlessly to Toronto’s distinct driving conditions. “Expanding into Canada marks an important milestone in Waymo’s global journey,” said Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana. “Toronto is one of the world’s great cities — innovative, diverse, and forward-looking. We’re proud to bring the Waymo Driver to Canada’s largest city and to partner with the vibrant business, arts and cultural communities that share our commitment to safer streets and more accessible mobility.” To serve Toronto, we’re partnering with Element Fleet Management, a Toronto-headquartered company and global leader in intelligent fleet and mobility solutions that will provide end-to-end fleet management services. Together with Element and our partners, we’ll invest in hundreds of roles over time spanning fleet maintenance, validation driving, customer service, and other operations functions that support our service. This deep partnership builds on Waymo’s existing ties to Canada, which includes our long-term investor relationship with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and our manufacturing partner, Magna International. "As a Canadian company, we are proud to be expanding our partnership with Waymo to help bring autonomous ride-hailing to Toronto,” said Laura Dottori-Attanasio, Chief Executive Officer, Element Fleet Management.

Nous préparons le lancement de notre service de transport par véhicules autonomes à Toronto. Nous investissons dans les infrastructures locales et dans la création d’emplois en vue d’accueillir nos premiers passagers en 2028. Au cours des prochains jours, vous commencerez à voir des véhicules Waymo circuler dans les rues de Toronto, avec un conducteur au volant. Notre démarche est rigoureuse et axée avant tout sur la sécurité. Nous procédons par étapes, en commençant par cartographier le réseau routier local en haute définition, puis en effectuant des essais avec des spécialistes qualifiés de la conduite autonome au volant. Cette phase nous permettra de vérifier que le Waymo Driver s’adapte aux conditions de conduite propres à Toronto. « Notre arrivée au Canada marque une étape importante dans le développement international de Waymo », a déclaré Tekedra Mawakana, codirectrice générale de l’entreprise. « Toronto est l’une des plus grandes métropoles du monde : une ville innovante, diversifiée et résolument tournée vers l’avenir. Nous sommes fiers d’introduire le Waymo Driver dans la plus grande ville du Canada et de collaborer avec les communautés dynamiques des affaires, des arts et de la culture qui partagent notre engagement envers des rues plus sécuritaires et une mobilité plus accessible. » Pour assurer notre service à Toronto, nous faisons équipe avec Element Fleet Management, une entreprise dont le siège social se trouve à Toronto et qui est un leader mondial des solutions intelligentes de gestion de flottes et de mobilité. Element nous fournira des services complets de gestion de flottes. Avec Element et nos autres partenaires, nous investirons progressivement dans la création de centaines d’emplois liés à l’entretien de la flotte, aux essais sur route, au service à la clientèle et à d’autres activités nécessaires à l’exploitation de notre service. Ce partenariat s’inscrit dans la continuité des liens que Waymo a déjà tissés avec le Canada, notamment avec l’Office d’investissement du régime de pensions du Canada (Investissements RPC), un investisseur de longue date, et Magna International, son partenaire manufacturier. « En tant qu’entreprise canadienne, nous sommes fiers d’élargir notre partenariat avec Waymo afin de contribuer à l’arrivée des services de transport de personnes à la demande par véhicules autonomes à Toronto, a déclaré Laura Dottori-Attanasio, présidente et cheffe de la direction d’Element Fleet Management. Ensemble, Element et Waymo contribueront à créer des possibilités d’emploi en mettant à profit l’expertise d’Element en gestion de flottes, ses capacités opérationnelles et ses solutions de mobilité intelligente pour soutenir le déploiement à grande échelle de flottes de véhicules autonomes, tout en assurant la fiabilité de leurs opérations. » Toronto figure parmi les régions métropolitaines dont la croissance est la plus rapide en Amérique du Nord. Les besoins en matière de mobilité y évoluent et les options de transport se multiplient. Des pistes cyclables au transport en commun, le Waymo Driver, conçu pour fonctionner par tous les temps, pourrait offrir une option supplémentaire en complément des moyens de transport existants. Selon les données recueillies sur plus de 400 millions de kilomètres parcourus en conduite entièrement autonome, les véhicules Waymo ont été impliqués dans 95 % moins d’accidents entraînant des blessures graves ou plus graves que les véhicules conduits par des humains dans les villes où le service est offert. Cela représente 20 fois moins d’accidents de ce type. La sécurité et l’accessibilité sont à la base de la mission de Waymo : devenir le service de conduite autonome auquel le public fait le plus confiance au monde. Nous sommes fiers de collaborer avec des organismes de premier plan qui œuvrent en faveur de l’accessibilité et de la mobilité, notamment BALANCE for Blind Adults, l’Institut national canadien pour les aveugles (INCA), Community Living Toronto, Connected Canadians et Epilepsy Ontario. « L’innovation qui favorise l’autonomie est au cœur de tout ce que nous faisons. L’expérience de Waymo en matière de collaboration avec des personnes ayant une déficience visuelle pour concevoir des solutions accessibles est encourageante. Sa décision de nous consulter dès le début montre qu’une telle approche peut donner des résultats concrets », a déclaré Michelle McQuigge, PDG de BALANCE for Blind Adults. Nous sommes ravis d’aider les résidents et les visiteurs à découvrir tout ce que Toronto a à offrir.

Preguntas frecuentes

  • Preguntas frecuentes

    • Do you need permission from the government to operate in Toronto?

      Yes. We’ve been approved to take part in the Automated Vehicle Pilot Program, receiving our official provincial permit from Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation to begin manual driving and testing. We will continue to work with regulators to ensure we have the proper permits in hand through every phase of our operations.

    • What areas will you be driving in?

      We will soon begin conducting extensive trials of Waymo’s technology as part of our mapping and safety validation work across select neighbourhoods in Toronto, including but not limited to the St. Lawrence Market, Harbourfront, Roncesvalles Village, Parkdale, Liberty Village, Don Mills, Yorkdale, Leaside, East York, Summerhill, Yonge & Eglinton, Weston, Mimico, and Etobicoke. 

      We are not yet offering commercial rides, but our testing hours typically run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure our technology can safely handle all of Toronto’s road conditions. All testing on public roads in Toronto will be conducted as part of Ontario’s Automated Vehicle Pilot Program (AVPP).

    • ¿Cuándo podré viajar?

      We are working hard to bring our fully autonomous service to Toronto in 2028, collaborating closely with authorities to secure the required permits. The best way to stay informed about our expansion and service launch is to sign up here. We will notify you as soon as our commercial service becomes available in your area.

    • Will riders be able to hail from the Waymo app or another app?

      Once we’re ready to open our doors in 2028, riders can hail from the Waymo app.

    • How many vehicles will you arrive with and how many vehicles do you plan to launch with?

      We’re beginning with a limited number of our all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles and will scale gradually over time.

    • ¿Para qué sirve la conducción manual?

      Experience is the best teacher. Before a Waymo vehicle ever drives autonomously in a new city, human drivers lead the way. Waymo drives on public roads to introduce and refine its autonomous driving technology in real-world conditions, enabling us to map and understand unique neighborhood traffic patterns. It’s how we build a foundation of safety from day one.

    • ¿Qué tipo de experiencia o capacitación tienen los especialistas en vehículos autónomos?

      Our autonomous specialists who are present in the vehicle during testing are highly trained, local professionals. They often have a background in professional driving or vehicle operations, combined with technical expertise in software and system troubleshooting. They undergo rigorous internal training and certification to understand autonomous system fundamentals, safety protocols, and emergency procedures. Investing locally is a core part of how Waymo scales in every city we enter.

    • ¿Waymo Driver puede circular en la nieve?

      Waymo has spent years testing in diverse snowy and icy environments to validate our autonomous system's ability to safely navigate freezing conditions. Our 6th generation Waymo Driver is equipped with advanced sensor-cleaning mechanisms, allowing it to sustain fully autonomous service in snowier, icier conditions. 

      We teach our system to recognize when it's snowy, have the proper mitigations in place to scrape and clear snow from our sensors (much like a human driver would clear windows and lights), and adjust our driving behavior to account for changing human driver behavior and road conditions like snow and ice. Today, we operate at below-freezing temperatures in the U.S., including with frost and hail, and we’re validating our system to navigate harsher weather conditions.

    • ¿Toronto será la primera ciudad con condiciones climáticas invernales en la que funcione el sistema?

      No. We currently operate in several cities that receive snow annually including Denver, Colorado, and Detroit, Michigan. Waymo has invested in weather testing since its earliest days as Google's Self-Driving Car Project. We have spent years testing in diverse snowy and icy environments across the US, regularly driving in Upstate New York, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the Sierra, building our technology for all-season operations.

    • Will Waymo drive during all snowy conditions (blizzards)?

      We've built our 6th generation Waymo Driver to safely navigate more diverse environments, including those with extreme winter weather. That said, we will abide by local guidance as we operate through winter weather conditions. There are conditions that any driver – human or autonomous – should not drive in, and we will prioritize safety and adjust operations as needed.

    • ¿Se filma lo que ocurre alrededor del vehículo?

      Our vehicles are equipped with a suite of sensors—including cameras, lidar, and radar—that continuously perceive the world around the vehicle. This is essential for the Waymo Driver to safely navigate its surroundings, spot other road users  like cyclists and streetcars, and obey traffic signals. Aligned with our commitment to privacy, this data is used solely to develop and validate our safety-critical autonomous driving technology. You can learn more about Waymo’s approach in our Setting the Standard for Privacy in Autonomous Mobility post and in our Privacy Policy here.

    • ¿Cómo protege Waymo la privacidad?

      Waymo's deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our riders. We will comply with all applicable Canadian privacy laws. You can learn more about Waymo’s approach in our Setting the Standard for Privacy in Autonomous Mobility post and in our Privacy Policy here.

    • ¿Cómo garantiza Waymo interacciones seguras con ciclistas y peatones en entornos urbanos?

      Waymo vehicles are equipped with a sophisticated suite of sensors—including cameras, lidar, and radar—that build a detailed, 360-degree understanding of their surroundings and are able to see and distinguish between vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians. Our software predicts the behavior of these road users and maneuvers our vehicles to interact safely and respectfully, giving them ample space. We also utilise visual and audio cues to clearly communicate the Waymo Driver’s intentions to people outside the vehicle, fostering predictable and safe interactions in busy urban settings with high numbers of cyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, we’ve created Safe Exit features to ensure our riders remain respectful of approaching cyclists upon their arrival at their destination.
