Waymo in talks with Hyundai Motor to produce self-driving taxis

Alphabet's Waymo is reportedly in discussions with Hyundai Motor to manufacture its self-driving vehicles. Waymo is considering using Hyundai's Ioniq 5 electric vehicles for its sixth-generation self-driving technology, potentially replacing China's Zeekr vehicles that Waymo is currently testing. These talks come as President Joe Biden's administration imposes increased tariffs on Chinese imports, including electric vehicles. Waymo declined to comment on the speculation, but confirmed they are working on validating their technology on the Zeekr platform. Hyundai Motor stated that no decisions have been made regarding new business ventures, referring to their vehicle platform for self-driving tech companies.
