Waymo has released its 6th generation robotaxi. The self-driving unit of Alphabet says its approach of designing both hardware and software from the ground up has been crucial to its success, and that continues with its latest generation robotaxi. 

Waymo’s vehicles are already serving more than 100,000 paid trips every week across its deployment sites using its 5th-generation robotaxi, which was released in March 2020.
