THE WAYMO OJAI WILL SOON OFFER AUTONOMOUS RIDES AROUND THE US

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Waymo is preparing to update its lineup with a new van built by Chinese automaker Zeekr and a modified Hyundai Ioniq 5s. The vehicles will be added to Waymo's growing operations this year, but the company has yet to specify which cities will see them. The Zeekr vehicle will be called the Waymo Ojai in the US. Zeekr will construct the body of the van in China before shipping it to the US, where Waymo will fit its software suite and array of sensors. The vehicle will not be affected by US regulations aimed at preventing Chinese cars from being sold to customers in the US.
