¡Llegamos a Madrid! Waymo is Coming to Spain

Today, we are excited to announce that Waymo is laying the groundwork for our fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Spain, beginning with the Region of Madrid. With over 20 million trips completed and hundreds of thousands of commercial rides served each week, we are excited to be a part of the region’s transportation ecosystem. We aim to welcome our first riders in 2027.

In the coming days, you’ll begin to see Waymo’s electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles on the streets of the region. We are taking a methodical, phased, safety-first approach that begins with manual driving before progressing to rigorous technical validation with local, trained autonomous specialists behind the wheel. This validation period will ensure the Waymo Driver adapts seamlessly to the region’s unique traffic patterns and road conditions.

“Madrid is an incredible capital of innovation and an integral part of our growing global presence. We can’t wait to serve Madrileños,” said Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana. “We’re proud to bring Waymo to Spain, beginning with the Region of Madrid. We share the region’s commitment to safer, more accessible, and zero-emission mobility, and we look forward to serving as a collaborative partner in achieving those goals.”

Spain has a long-standing commitment to road safety and modern mobility, values that align directly with our safety-first approach. We are actively engaging with national, regional, and local authorities, and familiarising emergency services with our technology as we look to safely serve riders in the future. We are also engaging with local partners and are investing in the local operations needed to support our service.
