The deal builds on the preliminary agreement of April 2025. Toyota will build the vehicles at its Takaoka plant in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, from base-vehicle assembly to integration of Waymo’s autonomous hardware. The companies aim to scale safety-validated Level 4 vehicles globally. They will also explore autonomous driving for personally owned Toyota vehicles, alongside Woven by Toyota.
