TOKYO: Japan's Honda and US auto titan General Motors (GM) announced on Thursday that they planned to launch a driverless taxi service in Tokyo in 2026, helping tackle labor shortages in an aging society.

Co-developed by San Francisco-based self-driving car operator Cruise, the project will offer 'an entirely new kind of mobility experience' in Japan, Honda said in a statement.
