Here Comes Ojai, Waymo’s New Chinese-Made Robotaxi
There’s a new autonomous vehicle in town, or at least in the towns of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix.
Summary
There’s a new autonomous vehicle in town, or at least in the towns of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix. Starting in the next few weeks, Alphabet self-driving vehicle developer Waymo will start picking up members of the public in its new Ojai vehicles (pronounced “oh hai”)—pale blue boxy minivans studded with sensors and complete with steering wheels, even though they’re designed to travel without drivers. For now, the rides in these new cars, which can be summoned through Waymo's app, will be free.
