""There's ride-hailing, and you can take a ride through the Waymo app today. Eventually, that'll be on your personal car. So that I see.""
""The technology is solved. But then, if you're in the middle of nowhere and there's just not enough density of the trips. Does it make sense for the ride-hailing service that Waymo is running to have cars on standby? Probably not.""
""Through this new collaboration, the companies aim to further accelerate the development and adoption of driver assistance and automated driving technologies for POVs, with a continued focus on safety and peace of mind.""
""Waymo currently provides paid rides in 10 US metro areas and lists other US cities and cities abroad as targets for future deployments.""
Waymo aims to incorporate its autonomous driving technology into personal cars, as stated by co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov. He mentioned a 'path of convergence' for product lines, indicating that the technology behind robotaxis will eventually be available for consumer vehicles. This approach is particularly beneficial in less dense areas where ride-hailing may not be viable. Waymo is also exploring partnerships, such as with Toyota, to enhance driver assistance and automated driving technologies for personally-owned vehicles. Currently, Waymo operates paid rides in 10 US metro areas, providing 500,000 rides weekly.
