Waymo's sixth-generation autonomous fleet has fewer sensors 'without compromising safety'
Alphabet-owned Waymo unveiled its sixth-generation Driver system on Monday with a more efficient sensor setup. Despite having a reduced camera and LiDAR sensor count from the current platform, the self-driving ride's new setup allegedly maintains safety levels. CNBC reports that the new system is built into Geely Zeekr electric vehicles. Waymo first said it would work with the Chinese EV maker in late 2021. The new platform's rides are boxier than the current-gen lineup, built on Jaguar I-PACE SUVs.
