Waymo Watch posted an update
Waymo has begun fully driverless testing in Detroit and closed a $5bn debt financing round, according to AV Market Strategist. The reported testing would bring the company’s autonomous vehicles to a new city, while the financing signals a substantial push behind its plans.
Why it mattersThe newsletter gives no further detail here on the test area, timetable or financing terms. Treat the claims as an early signal, not a complete picture; road testing and a commercial robotaxi service are not the same milestone.
Discuss: How much public-road testing should a company complete before it can launch driverless rides for paying passengers?
