— Rebecca BellanDeal of the weekI hesitate to put this one under deal of the week, because, well, the deal ain’t done. The funding is part of the $11.7 million Series A the company announced all the way back in late 2019. Investors include HAHN Automation, SAIC Capital Management, Soundproof Ventures , Heroic Ventures, SPARX Asset Management, Omron Ventures, Toyota AI Ventures, Scrum Ventures and Duke Angels. In December 2018, the company launched Waymo One, the self-driving car service and accompanying app. The company said that most of the installs are on iOS, as it looks like the Waymo app only became available on Android in April 2021.
