Quick Glance: Waymo Unveils New Generation of Autonomous Robotaxis
  • Waymo has revealed details about its sixth generation self-driving technology, integrated into Geely Zeekr electric vehicles. This new system is designed to handle a wider range of weather conditions while utilizing fewer expensive cameras and sensors.

  • Waymo's commercial robotaxi service launched in 2018 in the U.S., with the company previously integrating its driverless systems into Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans and Jaguar I-PACE SUVs. Currently, Waymo offers around 50,000 paid driverless trips weekly, primarily in San Francisco and Phoenix.

  • Alphabet has announced a fresh investment of $5 billion in Waymo's autonomous vehicle unit to support scaling efforts. The new robotaxis will be incorporated into the fleet once Generation 6 testing and validation are completed.

  • The upcoming Waymo-Zeekr features a more spacious interior with a low step and ample legroom. Waymo has also decreased the number of onboard cameras from 29 to 13 and lidar sensors from five to four, while conducting tests in various cities to assess performance.

Quick Glance: Cruise and Uber Launch Driverless Ride Partnership
  • Uber Technologies and General Motors' Cruise have entered a multi-year partnership to offer driverless rides to Uber users starting next year. This announcement comes as Cruise seeks to revive its robotaxi business following an incident in October 2023, where a pedestrian was struck by a driverless vehicle.

  • In a press release, the CEOs of both companies emphasized their confidence in the safe deployment of autonomous vehicles. Cruise is dedicated to leveraging driverless technology to enhance street safety and transform urban living.

  • Although Cruise did not disclose specific details about its relaunch plans or the terms of the partnership with Uber, Khosrowshahi expressed optimism about the long-term effects of robotaxis on Uber's ride-hailing business, predicting a lengthy transitional period for the development and regulation of autonomous vehicles.

  • This partnership marks GM's continued interest in ride-hailing collaborations, having previously invested in Lyft in 2016. Despite this new alliance, Cruise remains focused on reintroducing its own ride-hailing service and app, currently conducting supervised testing with safety drivers in multiple cities.

DOJ Considers Seeking Google (GOOG) Breakup After Major Antitrust Win
Quick Glance: Google Rivals' Remedy Demands Post-DOJ Antitrust Trial Victory
  • A federal judge found Google liable for antitrust violations, initiating the next phase of the trial focused on measures to restore competition in the general search market.

  • Longtime Google rivals like Yelp and DuckDuckGo scored a major win as a federal judge ruled Google as an illegal monopoly. However, the process of competition restoration has just started, and the judge has yet to determine the actions to be taken. Google's competitors are advocating for changes they believe will benefit their businesses, a task that may prove challenging.

  • The recently concluded liability phase revealed Google's violation of the Sherman Act through exclusionary contracts with phone and browser manufacturers to retain its default search engine status. In the remedies phase, Mehta will decide on restoring competition in general search services and advertising. Overlooking the importance of effective remedies could potentially favor Google in the long run.

  • The looming threat of artificial intelligence poses a significant challenge, potentially rendering proposed solutions ineffective if not adapted to the evolving search business model. The court may need to consider innovative solutions like requiring Google to provide access to its large language model (LLM) to address future concerns regarding AI and competition.

Waymo: Driverless robo-taxis are being tested on motorways
Quick Glance: Waymo's Robotaxi Plans Stalled by Biden Tariffs
  • Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, is facing significant challenges due to the Biden administration's new tariffs impacting its plans to introduce a new robotaxi from China. The vehicle, manufactured by Zeekr, a subsidiary of Geely, is designed in Sweden and is being outfitted with necessary hardware and software for autonomous driving. Initial vehicles have already arrived in the U.S.

  • The Biden administration intends to quadruple tariffs on electric vehicles manufactured in China from 25% to 100%, severely restricting imports. These tariffs are expected to take effect later this year. Additionally, the U.S. Commerce Department is set to announce new rules prohibiting Chinese software in autonomous vehicles.

  • China has established itself as a key player in the electric vehicle market, raising concerns among U.S. officials about potential subsidies from the Chinese government. Waymo finds itself entangled in this trade conflict and is closely monitoring the situation, asserting that none of its software originates from China.

  • Waymo's current fleet primarily consists of Jaguar I-Pace models, while the Zeekr vehicles are intended to serve as a lower-cost option. These new vehicles promise increased passenger capacity, potentially enhancing competition with ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. However, the application of tariffs on Zeekr vehicles could significantly hinder Waymo's expansion plans.
