Geely joins Waymo in NEV taxis

China鈥檚 Geely Holding said its premium electric mobility brand, Zeekr, will make electric vehicles for Waymo, Alphabet Inc鈥檚 self-driving unit, to be deployed as fully autonomous ride-hailing vehicles across the United States.

The vehicles will be designed and developed at Zeekr鈥檚 facility in Sweden, and later integrated with Waymo鈥檚 self-driving technology, Geely said on Tuesday.

Waymo said it would introduce the vehicles to US roads 鈥渋n the years to come.鈥

Concept images Waymo published on Tuesday show a roomy, low-to-the-ground minivan with seating for about five riders and sliding doors on each side serving as the lone entryways.

Waymo is the first and only fully driverless taxi service in the US. It has driven thousands of people since launching the service a year ago.
