Waymo宣布2027年在马德里推出无人出租车：测试车辆近日上路，先测绘后载客
Alphabet旗下的自动驾驶公司Waymo 10月20日宣布，计划2027年在西班牙马德里地区推出完全无人驾驶网约车服务，这将是该公司在西班牙的首次部署。近日起，其捷豹I-PACE车辆将出现在马德里街头，由经过培训的专员驾驶，先期进行道路测绘与软件测试。
据报道，测试在西班牙交通总局（DGT）的四级自动驾驶车辆测试框架（Instrucción VEH 2025/07）下进行，覆盖马德里市、Alcobendas与Getafe，昼间与夜间均运行，测试车辆悬挂红色临时牌照。按Waymo在其他城市的一贯路径，车辆先由人工驾驶绘制高精度地图，再由专员随车进行自动驾驶测试，最终在2027年撤掉驾驶员、向公众提供付费载客服务；首批车队规模较小。车辆搭载第五代Waymo Driver，配备激光雷达、雷达与29个摄像头。Waymo联席首席执行官Tekedra Mawakana称马德里是「一座不可思议的创新之都」。
Waymo目前已在美国多座城市运营商业无人驾驶服务，并在伦敦与东京测试；该公司10月16日刚宣布进军加拿大多伦多，计划2028年推出服务，马德里将是其在欧洲大陆的落点之一。
Waymo to Launch Driverless Ride-Hailing in Madrid in 2027: Test Vehicles Take to the Streets
Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, announced on October 20 that it plans to launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in Spain's Madrid region in 2027, its first deployment in the country. In the coming days, its Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will appear on Madrid streets, driven manually by trained specialists to build high-definition maps and conduct software tests.
Testing will run under the Spanish traffic agency DGT's framework for Level 4 automated vehicles (Instrucción VEH 2025/07), covering the city of Madrid, Alcobendas and Getafe, by day and by night, with the cars running on red temporary plates. Following Waymo's usual playbook, the vehicles will first map the streets manually, then drive themselves with a specialist on board, and only in 2027 run with no one in the driver's seat and carry paying passengers. The first fleet will be small. The cars use the fifth-generation Waymo Driver, with lidar, radar and 29 cameras. Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana called Madrid "an incredible capital of innovation," as quoted by Expansión.
Waymo already operates commercial robotaxi services in multiple U.S. cities and is testing in London and Tokyo. On October 16, it announced its first Canadian deployment, in Toronto, targeting service in 2028; Madrid would be among its first footholds in continental Europe.
