Volvo will use Waymo’s self-driving technology to power a fleet of electric robotaxis

Waymo is the “exclusive global L4 partner” for Volvo Car Group, the two companies announced Thursday.

That means that Volvo will integrate Waymo’s autonomous driving technology, widely considered to be among the best in the world, into a fleet of electric robotaxis that it will deploy at some point in the future. The deal also applies to Volvo’s two subrands, its electric performance company Polestar and its Chinese brand Lynk& Co.
