Waymo plans to more than double its robotaxi fleet.
The leading robotaxi company Waymo from the Google group plans to more than double the number of its vehicles next year. Currently, Waymo makes over 250,000 trips with passengers per week with over 1,500 robotaxis in four US cities. By the end of next year, more than 2,000 additional Jaguar electric vehicles are expected to be converted into self-driving cars, as Waymo announced in a blog entry.
Additionally, vehicles based on a model from the Chinese car brand Zeekr are expected to join the fleet soon. Over time, the plant in Arizona is said to be able to produce "tens of thousands" of self-driving cars per year. Waymo did not specify a timeframe for this.
Tesla on the Starting Blocks
In June, Waymo might get a new competitor: Tesla plans to launch a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with initially 10 to 20 vehicles. Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasizes that, in his view, most of the company's new cars have everything they need on board to drive autonomously with the appropriate software. Therefore, he announces that soon millions of self-driving Teslas will be on the roads. However, experts and competitors have doubts. Musk wants to rely solely on cameras, while Waymo and other robotaxi developers additionally use, among other things, more expensive laser radars to scan the surroundings. There are concerns that the cameras may not capture enough information for reliable autonomous driving. Musk dismisses this.
