Waymo已在洛杉矶、凤凰城和旧金山向所有乘客开放新一代自动驾驶出租车 Ojai。这一步不仅意味着新车型开始进入大规模接单阶段,也显示其正尝试用更低成本的车辆扩大商业车队。

三城已可叫到新车型

在上述三个市场,用户现在叫车时,可能会被分配到 Ojai。Waymo 表示,等到新车数量进一步增加后,乘客将可以在 Ojai 与现有的 Jaguar I-Pace 之间自行选择。

Waymo 发言人称,目前商业车队中约有 300 辆 Ojai。公司还计划在今年晚些时候,把这款车投放到丹佛、拉斯维加斯和圣迭戈。

新车瞄准规模化运营

过去几年,Waymo 的 Robotaxi 车队主要依赖改装后的纯电 Jaguar I-Pace。该车型已经在美国 11 座城市投入运营,但更像是 Waymo 迈向大规模商业化过程中的过渡方案。

Ojai 搭载 Waymo 第六代自动驾驶系统,这套系统采用模块化设计,可适配多种车型。车内还加入了重新设计的交互界面,以及 Google 的 Gemini AI 车载助手。

极氪供车,关税推高成本

Ojai 的基础车型由极氪提供。极氪隶属于吉利控股,Waymo 与其合作始于 2021 年。该车基于极氪 SEA-M 平台打造,面向 Robotaxi 和配送车辆等用途。

不过,美国当前对中国制造汽车征收较高进口关税,这也抬高了 Waymo 引入 Ojai 的单车成本。基础车辆运抵美国后,会被送往 Waymo 位于亚利桑那州的工厂,再安装自动驾驶系统。

进口节奏显示扩张提速

纽约研究机构 MoffettNathanson 通过追踪货运单据估算,Waymo 到 2026 年底有望向美国运入 5000 辆 Ojai,规模将超过其现有 Jaguar 车队的两倍。

该机构还称,仅 7 月就有 725 辆 Ojai 进入美国,显示 Waymo 正在加快车队更新和投放节奏。
