Toyota Motor Corporation and Google's Waymo have announced a new partnership to create a next-generation autonomous vehicle platform. Waymo aims to integrate elements of its self-driving technology into personally owned vehicles, enhancing road safety and mobility. This collaboration combines the strengths of both companies to explore advancements in autonomous driving for commercial and consumer use. While the specifics regarding how Waymo's technology will be utilized in passenger vehicles remain vague, Waymo is actively developing a generalizable driver platform for various applications.
Together, we aim to combine our respective strengths to develop a new autonomous vehicle platform and explore how to leverage Waymo's autonomous technology to enhance the next generation of Toyota's personally owned vehicles.
Waymo said that it continues to build a 'generalizable driver' platform for ride-hailing and commercial purposes, and in the future, it seems that could extend to passenger cars too.
