I was under the impression they use Chrysler minvans, but I’d pay more to ride in a late model Jaguar than some random Hyundai.
- browningstreet 1y agoThat's what all the Waymo's look like. They did some testing in Chrysler minivans, now they're testing in BYD vehicles. But the rides are in those Jaguars (ya know, the ones burning in LA).
- xnx 1y ago> now they're testing in BYD vehicles I hadn't heard that. Did you mean Geely Zeekr? https://waymo.com/blog/2021/12/expanding-our-waymo-one-fleet-with https://waymo.com/blog/2021/12/expanding-our-waymo-one-fleet...
- browningstreet 1y agoHmm. That’s the vehicle I saw in SF but when I looked it up I thought I read BYD. But maybe I got that totally wrong. EDIT: Yes you’re def right. I looked around a little more and there’s no support for my BYD memory. Geely it is.
- Axsuul 1y agoI've been seeing these drive around LA too (the Zeekr).

- Jelthi 1y agoEvery Waymo I’ve ridden in is a Jaguar I-PACE. I’m at 31 rides LA/SF.
- thatfrenchguy 1y agoI mean, if you’ve ever set foot in a Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, they’re better than any of the alternatives from American brands.
- daft_pink 1y agoI'm sure they are, but I meant that if you were to take a Lyft or Uber, you would just get someone's random car that is often a Hyundai Elantra or Accent in my experience and not necessarily perfectly clean etc vs riding in a corporate maintained fleet of Jaguars.
