Alphabet’s Waymo registered Waymo Germany GmbH on June 15, 2026. The new entity lists Google’s Munich office as its official business address. This registration establishes the legal groundwork for deploying autonomous ride-hailing services in Europe.
The filing allows Waymo to begin preliminary steps including manual vehicle mapping. While the company has not announced a specific launch date, the move positions Waymo to navigate European regulatory frameworks.
Waymo currently competes with other technology firms testing autonomous vehicles in Germany. The company is engaging with international officials to support its stated global expansion ambitions.
