Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has revealed details about its newest “generation 6” self-driving technology. The new driverless tech, integrated into Geely Zeekr electric vehicles, is expected to handle a wider array of weather conditions and be more cost-effective. Waymo is confident in bringing this technology to market quickly, citing advances in machine learning and semiconductor performance. The company currently offers around 50,000 paid driverless trips weekly and has completed over 2 million trips to date. Waymo plans to scale its service in Sunbelt cities and recently received a $5 billion investment from Alphabet to aid in this expansion.
