• 2026-10-16 (first record, ~8:07 AM ET, Electrek): Waymo picks Toronto as its first Canadian city — cars start driving the city's streets "in the coming days," first public riders targeted for 2028; Toronto is Waymo's fourth announced market outside the US after London, Tokyo and Singapore; Ontario has no rules yet for a commercial driverless service. No Ontario regulatory timeline in capture. Watch: Ontario's commercial-driverless framework, what the street-driving phase produces, whether the 2028 riding target holds.
