What you'll actually see in Tokyo
Robotaxis
Driverless passenger cars from MoveEz are in limited pilots -- invite or trial rides, not open hailing yet. That usually opens up as the pilots grow.
And plenty more at work
Not every robot here delivers burritos. The record also includes Pepper, SQ-2, GMO AIR G1, Unitree G1, Unitree G1, and 1 more -- the oldest on file here since 2014, long before most people noticed robots at all.
Can you ride a robotaxi in Tokyo?
Not freely yet. The robotaxi services here (MoveEz) are in limited pilots -- trials and invite-only rides, not open hailing. That usually changes as pilots expand.
