Woohoo for Waymo
Self-driving robotaxi company Waymo has closed a US$5.6 billion funding round—the largest investment in the company’s history.
This Series C round now boosts Waymo’s total capital raised to US$11 billion.
This investment round was led by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, and included participation from investors Andreessen Horowitz, Fidelity, Silver Lake, and Tiger Global. With this investment, Waymo reportedly aims to accelerate the growth of its Waymo One robotaxi services. The service currently operates in Phoenix, Arizona and San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. Plans are also underway to expand it to Austin, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia.
According to Waymo, Waymo One provides more than 100,000 trips weekly.
