In a short LinkedIn post, Waymo reported that its self-driving vehicles are now taking 100,000 paid trips a week - that's double the figure it reported on August 6th. The company didn't provide an explanation for the sudden leap, but the August 6th blog post did reference "well over 50,000" paid rides a week.
Waymo has also published some details of its sixth generation hardware - a modified Zeekr electric vehicle. It said the vehicle's new sensor suite - 13 cameras, 4 lidar, 6 radar and array of external audio receivers - is optimised for greater performance at a significantly reduced cost, without compromising safety. "It provides the Waymo Driver with overlapping fields of view, all around the vehicle, up to 500 meters away, day and night, and in a range of weather conditions," Waymo claimed.
