Waymo and Hyundai to Expand Robotaxi Fleet
News summary

Waymo, a leader in autonomous driving technology, has announced a multi-year partnership with Hyundai to incorporate its self-driving systems into Hyundai's IONIQ 5 SUVs, which will be produced at Hyundai's new EV facility in Georgia. Beginning in late 2025, these vehicles will join Waymo's robotaxi fleet, expanding its service areas in the U.S., including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, with future plans for Atlanta and Austin. This collaboration marks a significant step in the autonomous vehicle industry, with Hyundai aiming to supply a substantial volume of vehicles for Waymo's fleet. While Waymo is also extending partnerships with other companies like Uber for autonomous ride-hailing, it faces challenges such as federal investigations into its technology. Despite these challenges, Waymo continues to grow, with plans to invest $5 billion over multiple years to enhance its operations. The partnership underscores Hyundai's strategy to strengthen its position in the autonomous vehicle market and support its sustainability goals.
