Autonomous Trucks
Google sister company Waymo is shelving the development of self-driving trucks and focusing on robotaxis. One still sees business opportunities for the truck business, Waymo emphasized in a blog entry on Thursday night. The car giant General Motors is also active in the first two of these with its robot car subsidiary Cruise. Cruise and Waymo have so far pioneered the commercial use of self-driving cars as taxis. Waymo had been working on self-driving trucks for several years.
