Geely seems like a poor choice in vehicles, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up paying enormous tariffs on it or if it ends up being impossible to work on or use here. I'm sure Geely is willing to take a loss to enter the US market but I would not be buying the vehicles for my high-tech autonomous startup from a Chinese manufacturer with no experience in the US

Does anyone know when the Geely Zeeker and Hyundai Ioniq5 will be ready? I know the Zeeker is doing road testing already. I’m not sure if the ioniq5 is doing road testing yet. With all of these new cities being announced they must be getting close.

Lol I hope google using the ioniq5 will get the whole iccu issue some attention.

Yes! Very excited, anyone know when it's coming to Portland and Seattle?

Seattle, at least, already has Waymo cars in the "human-driven data gathering" mode that this article is announcing.

Do Waymo cars have different "personalities" in different cities? It occurred to me that drives in different places drive differently and maybe the cars adapt.

I have noticed them change driving style over time in SF, so I would imagine they would adjust to a city over time as well

Yes, it's trained in part on local driver data

Is Detroit the first Waymo city that sees more than a negligible amount of snow? It will be interesting to see Waymos snowy road debut.
