Nissan and Uber plan to test self-driving taxis in Tokyo

Nissan, the Japanese automaker, is partnering with Uber and a UK startup called Wayve to test a robotaxi service in Tokyo. They plan to begin trial runs in the city later this year, with a full service launch targeted for late 2026.

Separately, Japan's government has asked the United States not to include it in new, higher tariffs. This request was made by a visiting Japanese minister to the U.S. administration. The request comes as a U.S. trade court ruled that previous tariffs imposed under the Trump administration were illegal and ordered a system to refund over $200 billion in collected duties within 45 days.
