Waymo has launched its new Ojai robotaxi, based on Geely's Zeekr division, for public use in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. The Ojai offers a spacious interior with large sliding doors and a flat floor, designed for passenger comfort and ease of entry/exit. While the vehicle provides a pleasant ride and good visibility, some users have noted the sound system is merely adequate and the ride quality is rougher than expected for a self-driving car. The Ojai is Waymo's sixth-generation hardware, featuring fewer sensors than its previous i-Pace model but still ample for autonomous operation. AI
IMPACT Waymo's Ojai launch expands public access to autonomous ride-hailing, potentially increasing adoption and competition in key markets.
