"Waymo One operates similarly to Uber or Lyft. You open the app, summon a car, and get a ride to wherever you're going-except there's no one behind the wheel. The vehicles run on Waymo's custom hardware and software, and although the service is currently limited to a few cities, expansion plans are already in place. Las Vegas and San Diego are on deck this year, with Atlanta, Miami, and Washington, D.C., expected to follow in 2026."
"There is. MotorTrend reports that a fresh robotaxi has joined Waymo's fleet-the Zeekr RT minivan. These are the same vans Illulian spotted in his viral clip. With this rollout, Zeekr became the first Chinese car brand to break into the U.S. market. Some write-ups suggest the vans arrived earlier this year, but MotorTrend notes that customers can't hail one just yet. That hasn't stopped them from showing up in Los Angeles neighborhoods, apparently for charging and upkeep."
