Geely's premium brand OfficialZeekr has partnered with Waymo to develop an autonomous ride-hailing EV
When development of the vehicle itself is complete, Waymo will install its autonomous hardware, which uses Lidar, cameras, radar and computer processors to virtually map its surroundings. Described as"the world's most experienced driver", the so-called Waymo Driver has undergone millions of miles of testing on public roads in more than 13 US states.
The self-driving vehicle is, thus, designed with a focus on the passengers, and will offer a"fully configurable" cabin either with or without driver controls installed. The companies have yet to reveal any further technical details of the project, and have not confirmed a planned date or target markets for its launch.
Zeekr CEO Andy An said:"Zeekr was born on the ideals of equality, diversity, and sustainability. By becoming a strategic partner and vehicle supplier to the Waymo One fleet, we will be able to share our experience, ideals and provide our expertise in collaborating on a fully electric vehicle that fits Waymo’s requirements for this rapidly expanding segment in the global market for sustainable travel.
Zeekr and Waymo have announced their collaboration plans just two weeks after London-based EV start up Arrival revealed a similarly passenger-centric EV it is designing for – and in partnership with – Uber drivers.
