Investing.com -- Waymo announced plans to bring its autonomous vehicle service to Denver this fall, marking the company’s expansion into the Mile High City.
The Google-owned autonomous driving technology company will deploy a mixed fleet consisting of Jaguar I-PACE vehicles equipped with its 5th-generation Waymo Driver and Zeekr RT vehicles featuring the 6th-generation Waymo Driver.
Waymo’s next-generation system has been developed based on years of winter weather experience across Michigan, upstate New York, and the Sierra Nevada. The technology is engineered to operate autonomously in harsh climate conditions.
The company stated it is working closely with city and state officials to establish strong partnerships with local communities.
Colorado Governor Polis expressed support for the initiative, saying: "I’m excited to help Coloradans get where we want to go faster, safer, with additional transportation options. Our state is driven by innovation, and the arrival of Waymo’s autonomous vehicle technology in Denver is a step forward. We welcome Waymo to Colorado."
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston also welcomed the development, noting: "Whether they need a ride to work, school, the farmer’s market, or they’re heading out for a night on the town, Waymo is a great way for Denverites to get where they’re going safely. Waymo’s innovative, climate-friendly technology will not only make our streets safer but cleaner, and I can’t wait for my first ride."
The Denver launch is intended to lay groundwork for a fully autonomous service in the future.
