Google sister Waymo announced some changes recently. So you have sent a car model into retirement and dedicated to new cities.
Waymo has his Chrysler Pacifica models now retired. The all-electric Jaguar I-Pace vehicles will complement the fleet. They will drive the tours that previously drove the Chrysler Pacifica models. So also in the suburbs of Chandler and Tempe in Phoenix. The I-Pace should complete the fleet by spring.
The Jaguar I-Pace is currently the preferred autonomous vehicle for robotaxi trips in downtown Phoenix and to Phoenix International Sky Harbor Airport. The 24/7 service operates between downtown Phoenix and an airport shuttle stop. Now Waymo wants to charge its fleet efficiently and further commercialize the service.
Besides want Waymo after austin expand. There, as Waymo likes to report, people first drove autonomously. Back then, it was the visually impaired Steve Mahan who took the first ride in the Google Egg, Waymo’s (then Google) Firefly prototype vehicle.
Over the next few months, the fifth-generation Waymo driver will be driving on the Jaguar I-PACE platform in downtown Austin, including downtown.
