Waymo's sixth-generation driverless taxi, an electric 'bubble-shaped' minivan from Zeekr, aims to make autonomous ridesharing a reality in the U.S. with advanced weather capabilities.
The vehicle features a cutting-edge sensor suite with 13 cameras, 6 radars, and 4 lidar sensors, providing 360-degree vision and enabling detection up to 1,640 feet away.
Waymo emphasizes adaptability, allowing for component swaps based on weather conditions, ensuring its sensor suite maintains functionality in extreme heat or heavy snowfall.
With extensive testing already completed, Waymo plans to operate its driverless taxi without human intervention in about half the expected timeframe.
