Waymo said it would continue collaboration with DTNA to advance technical development of an autonomous truck platform.
Waymo, the company that has been working on self-driving automotive tech for years, has decided to narrow its focus to the ride-hailing part of the industry.
Six years after starting tests for its autonomous-truck program, Waymo says it's decided to focus more on ridesharing using its self-driving cars and minivans.
The CEOs of Waymo, Tekedra Mawakana and Dmitri Dolgov, said that their company will now be primarily focused on ride-hailing services, and will be investing their efforts and resources accordingly.
