Waymo has announced it will offer its short-range lidar sensors for use in other non-automated driving applications
Over its 10 years of working on automated driving systems, Waymo has kept important details of its technology notoriously secret. While that’s a perfectly reasonable stance to take when developing such a new technology in a very competitive industry, it does make it tougher to do deals.
The reality probably lies somewhere between those two extremes but even when Waymo introduced its automated version of the Chrysler Pacifica hybrid in 2017, representatives explained that Waymo didn’t plan to become a traditional supplier and wanted to retain control of its system. More recently Waymo has indicated that it is opening to supplying the system to automakers.
