Waymo has opened its next-generation robotaxi, the Ojai, to all riders in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. The new vehicle is designed to be cheaper to build and operate, with about 300 units currently in the fleet. Waymo plans to expand the Ojai to Denver, Las Vegas, and San Diego later this year, aiming to replace the Jaguar I-PACE fleet and drive towards mass scale and profitability.
