Waymo is now letting all riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix hail its next-generation Ojai robotaxi — a vehicle built in China by Zeekr. That makes the Ojai one of the only ways for an American to ride in a Chinese-made EV, a car they still can’t legally buy for themselves. Waymo announced today that the Ojai, which had been limited to free early-access rides since it started offering trips in the new robotaxi on May 28, is now open to the general public across all three markets as the Alphabet unit begins commercial operations with the platform. Riders may be matched with an Ojai when one is available nearby. Waymo says it will eventually let passengers choose between the Ojai and its existing Jaguar I-PACE fleet. A Chinese EV you can’t buy — but can now ride The Ojai’s base vehicle is manufactured by Zeekr, the premium EV brand owned by China’s Geely Holding Group, on the automaker’s SEA-M architecture, with the body designed in Sweden. US tariffs and an incoming federal rule have effectively locked Chinese passenger EVs out of the American market, which is why you can’t walk into a dealership and buy a Zeekr, a BYD, or any other Chinese brand. Waymo is importing them by the thousands anyway. According to Forbes, Waymo has brought more than 3,200 Zeekr vehicles into the US through the Port of Los Angeles since 2024, with more than 2,600 of those arriving in 2026 alone — all while paying a tariff of roughly 127.5% on Chinese EVs. The math still works for Waymo. The base price is believed to be quite affordable, which limits the impact from the tariffs and the vehicle only truly becomes expensive once Waymo adds its sensor and computing suite to the vehicle.

Kakao Mobility will expand its proprietary “Seoul Autonomous Vehicle” service operating in Seoul’s Gangnam District to six vehicles from two and extend operations to traffic safety zones for vulnerable road users. The company plans to help reduce transportation shortages in Gangnam during late-night hours, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following day. Kakao Mobility was selected by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as an autonomous vehicle passenger transportation operator and began late-night operations in Gangnam in March. The company said it has accumulated driving data in Gangnam, a challenging environment for autonomous driving because of variables including motorcycles, illegally parked vehicles and jaywalking, and has used the data to improve its autonomous driving algorithms and system stability. Over the past five months, the company has expanded its urban-focused “AI Planner” and validated core end-to-end (E2E) autonomous driving technology in which a single integrated AI model handles functions from perception to control. With the larger fleet, Kakao Mobility plans to collect a wider range of road data more quickly and feed it back into its AI training model. The vehicles are also the first autonomous vehicles permitted to operate in traffic safety zones for vulnerable road users. Based on its existing safety-control algorithms, Kakao Mobility developed logic tailored to driving in such zones. Vehicles slow to no more than 80% of the applicable speed limit when entering the zones, while rapid acceleration is restricted to prepare for unexpected movements by pedestrians, including children. The company said it has also improved perception performance and processing speeds by streamlining algorithms and optimizing sensors. Visual and audio alerts are sent to autonomous driving managers before and after vehicles enter the zones to increase their attention to safety. In preparation for commercial autonomous vehicle services, Kakao Mobility has also been conducting daytime data training in

LAND FORCES JUST IN: Hanwha to Deliver First Mobile Cannon Prototype to Army in Fall By Tabitha Reeves Hanwha Defense USA photo Hanwha Defense USA is set to deliver up to 18 prototype K9 Mobile Howitzers to the Army at an accelerated pace for the service’s new Mobile Tactical Cannon program, according to company and service press releases announcing the deal Aug. 18. The contract — awarded under an Other Transaction Authority and marking Hanwha Defense USA’s first major Army contract — prioritizes the quick delivery of six howitzers, with an option for the Army to add 12 more within a roughly four-year performance period, the service release said. The initial six will arrive within a year of inking the deal and the first unit will be ready in early fall, company officials said during a media roundtable Aug. 19. “The Army has made it clear that modernizing artillery is an urgent need, and the schedule reflects that,” Todd Mueller, executive director for fires capture programs at Hanwha Defense USA, said during the roundtable. The initial award is worth $100.3 million, while the total cost of the agreement can reach up to $262.9 million if the Army procures all 18, said Mike Smith, the company’s chief operating officer and president of land systems. If the service opts for full-rate production after the prototype phase, the first batch would consist of roughly 480 vehicles. Hanwha Defense USA — which is under the umbrella of South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Group — beat out a host of industry competitors for the Mobile Tactical Cannon deal, including: a three-company team of Elbit Systems of America, Anduril Industries and Oshkosh Defense; a two-company team of Leonardo DRS and KNDS; American Rheinmetall; BAE Systems; General Dynamics Land Systems; and partners AM General and Kalyani Strategic Systems,

DENVER — Waymo is preparing to launch its driverless robotaxi service in Denver later this year, and the autonomous vehicles have already been spotted training on city streets ahead of the public rollout. Chris Bonelli, Waymo's product innovation manager, gave a rundown of the car's technology during a ride in the robotaxi on Tuesday. The vehicles coming to Denver are van-like cars with sliding doors, large monitors, and controls for temperature and seating adjustments. "It's never distracted. It's never drowsy. It's never drunk, right? It is a vehicle that is always paying attention," Bonelli said. Bonelli said safety is a central goal of the service. "We've seen a 94% reduction in serious injury or fatal causing crashes in the cities that we operate previously," Bonelli said. During a ride, the robotaxi encountered tree trimmers blocking a side street — a situation where the car can connect with Waymo's remote support team. "The suggestion it gave was to make a three point turn, to go back the direction it had came, and now we are on the move and heading back to our destination," Bonelli said. ► Watch Maggie Bryan's report in the video below: A public launch date has not yet been set. "We do anticipate opening to the public here soon. I don't quite have a date," Bonelli said. Denver residents have questions about the service. Some said they are curious but cautious. "The one time I would do it just to see if it's scary, more like a roller coaster ride," one Denver resident said. "I can definitely see myself doing it once or twice, but it really just depends how scary it is," another resident said. Others are focused on cost. "It's just kind of like another Uber type thing to me. If it's less expensive, then

Waymo has expanded its operations into Los Gatos for the first time, making driverless rides available to around 100 residents in the North 40 neighborhood. The autonomous vehicles’ service area currently extends south to Pollard Road and Lark Avenue, and autonomous specialists were seen riding in the driver’s seat outside of Waymo’s current boundaries last week. These trained drivers often sit behind the wheel during certain testing and validation phases to monitor the technology, according to Waymo’s website. On Friday, the Mountain View-based company announced that it received state approval to dramatically expand its taxi services across the Bay Area. The California Department of Motor Vehicles released an updated map showing Waymo’s new approved operating range in Northern California, including the addition of East Bay and North Bay counties. “Our goal is to make Waymo accessible to more communities across the entire San Francisco Bay Area over time,” Sandy Karp, communications manager at Waymo, wrote in an email to the Los Gatan. “Waymo regularly drives in and around the cities where we operate with human specialists present.” “Currently, our fully autonomous service area in the Bay Area stretches from San Francisco to San Jose. This covers a 300-square-mile region and includes many neighborhoods in between, including parts of Los Gatos,” Karp said. Los Gatos Residents can currently request pickups and drop-offs within the North 40 neighborhood through the Waymo app. As Waymo’s footprint expands farther into Los Gatos, town officials will have little say over when and where those boundaries are drawn. State regulators, like the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Public Utilities Commission, instead oversee autonomous vehicle approval and deployment in California. “I think one of the big challenges is that the town didn’t ask for this, and yet our police officers, for instance, have to get up

Also, the Palo Alto-based micromobility company spun out of Rivian closed a $150 million Series D financing round on Wednesday to bring “driven and autonomous small EV vehicles to consumers and businesses worldwide.” The round was led by Prysm Capital, with participation from Eclipse Capital, Greenoaks and MVP Ventures. The new capital will fund the development of Also‘s autonomous vehicle platform and what the company described as the “simultaneous development of multiple autonomous form factors for both goods and passengers” across urban environments. These autonomous vehicles will leverage much of the EV architecture already developed for its consumer electric bike, the TM-B, and its commercial electric delivery quad, the TM-Q, unveiled earlier this year. “Whether a vehicle is driven or autonomous, the need to solve for congestion and cost per trip doesn’t change,” co-founder and President Chris Yu said in a statement. Yu added he was thrilled by the support of the company’s partners and the ability to fast-track development of the autonomous platform. Autonomous Push The autonomous push builds on the multi-year commercial agreement Also signed with DoorDash in March to collaboratively develop and deploy autonomous delivery vehicles at scale. DoorDash also invested in Also’s $200 million Series C round, which closed earlier this year and was led by Greenoaks. Also separately holds a multi-year deal with Amazon — one of Rivian‘s earliest supporters — announced in October 2025, to supply thousands of pedal-assist e-cargo quads for delivery fleets in Europe and the United States. Prysm Capital’s Jay Park, who co-founded the firm, drew a direct parallel between Also and the fund’s early backing of Rivian, about which he said they “saw the potential behind wonderfully designed, vertically integrated electric trucks, vans and SUVs.” According to Park, Also is “applying that same approach to smaller form factor vehicles to

Chris Yu will tell you his micromobility company, Also, is much more than an e-bike maker. Its market is every vehicle smaller than a car. On Wednesday, the Palo Alto based startup raised a $150 million Series D funding round, Fortune learned exclusively, led by Prysm Capital. Eclipse Capital and Greenoaks also participated. The round pushed the two-year-old startup’s valuation past $1 billion, a big number for a company whose most visible product, so far, is a $3,500 e-bike. But what Also actually makes is a small-vehicle technology platform alongside in-house motors, batteries, compute, and software. While the first iteration is in the form of a bike, Also’s technology is designed to be dropped into anything smaller than a car that moves people or goods, such as pedal-assist delivery quads and (eventually) fully autonomous vehicles. The company spun out of Rivian in early 2025 after running as a stealth project inside the EV maker. Rivian founder RJ Scaringe co-founded the company and has stayed on as chairman of both. The money has moved fast since: $105 million in funding at spinout, a $200 million Series C earlier this year led by Greenoaks with Prysm, and a strategic investment from food delivery company DoorDash. The new capital is earmarked specifically to accelerate Also’s autonomous vehicle platform—with the company developing multiple autonomous hardware projects simultaneously for moving both goods and passengers—all built on the EV architecture already underpinning its consumer bike, the TM-B, and its commercial electric delivery quad, the TM-Q. “Repurposing a 7,000 pound van, truck or SUV to do across-town trips with one passenger, or to deliver a toothbrush from Amazon or a hamburger on DoorDash, just doesn’t make sense if you’re trying to make that trip as economical and low impact as possible and minimize congestion and time,” Yu

Buy, Hold or Sell Tesla Stock Ahead of Cybercab Launch? Electric vehicle (EV) and tech giant Tesla TSLA is moving closer to a major test of its robotaxi ambitions. The company is preparing for the public rollout of its Cybercab. Per media reports, the vehicle is expected to be launched in Austin, TX, by the end of this month. Unlike Tesla’s existing vehicles, Cybercab is purpose-built for autonomous driving, with no steering wheel or pedals. Can the Cybercab become the next major growth engine for Tesla? Or is the company asking investors to pay too much today for a future that remains uncertain? Let’s dig deeper. Cybercab in TSLA’s Robotaxi Push Per Teslarati, Tesla has been producing Cybercab units at Gigafactory Texas since April, initially using them as test vehicles across different environments and climates. The vehicles have been spotted in several states, including California, Nevada, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. The company plans to begin by offering Cybercab rides to its employees before incorporating the vehicles into its Robotaxi service in Austin. If executed well, the autonomous ride-hailing network that could generate recurring, high-margin revenue. The opportunity is significant. There are signs that Tesla's autonomy efforts are gaining traction. Robotaxi service is now live across seven U.S. metropolitan areas, while unsupervised operations are expanding in markets including Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
