The new brand Zeekr, launched by the Chinese company Geely, is partnering with Waymo for its next generation of robotaxis. A first model has now been unveiled, which stands out for its lack of steering wheel and pedals. However, it'll be a few years before the vehicle starts picking up customers.
It was announced a few months ago that the Geely Group's premium electric brand, Zeekr, would collaborate with Waymo to develop a new autonomous electric vehicle. A prototype was recently presented in Los Angeles, taking the form of a minivan based on a new proprietary SEA-M architecture.
