and self-driving as in being designed and developed in Gothenburg, Sweden. According to the US-based Waymo, the robot minivan will be added to its existing fleet"in the years to come."

The announcement came via a blog post where Waymo gave a hint as to some of Zeekr's planned features.a flat floor for more accessible entry, easy ingress, and egress thanks to a B-pillarless design, low step-in height, generous head and legroom, and fully adjustable seats.”an interior without steering wheel and pedals, and with plenty of headroom, legroom and reclining seats, screens and chargers within arm’s reach, and an easy to configure and comfortable vehicle cabin.

veiled the Firefly — a tiny pod-like car designed to test early iterations of its autonomous software. The when Waymo decided to use larger, more conventional vehicles that traveled faster than the pod’s top speed of 25 mph . All very ambitious, but the vehicle's ultimate fate will be in the hands of regulators. Waymo's existing fleet of vehicles, for example, is currently undergoing extensive road testing on pubic roads by safety regulators who will give the green light for them in the not too distant future all things going to plan.This is ultimately the reason that they cannot give a fixed date for the rollout of vehicles like the Zeekr.

However, existing autonomous vehicles in Waymo’s fleet all contain a steering wheel, and sometimes a safety driver. The latter is present just in case they need to intervene should any anomalies be detected during a journey.But this is, in Waymo's opinion, just a stop-gap to developing a fully autonomous vehicle without the need for human-useable controls.
