Geely

Waymo launched its sixth-gen autonomous system in Geely-built robotaxis for U.S. expansion. The upgrade enhances cost-effectiveness and performance in bad weather. Initially for employees in California, public rides start later this year. Waymo also targets international markets, with London first. Despite geopolitical concerns over the Geely partnership, Waymo assures proprietary tech protection. This move positions Waymo to lead the growing robotaxi market, even as it faces intense competition.
