Waymo robotaxi stockpile hits 953, with 684 ready for deployment
Waymo has built up 953 robotaxis at its Mesa, Arizona, site, with 684 already fitted with sensors and converted for immediate deployment, a monthly aerial-photo analysis shows. The count also identified 12 completed Hyundai Ioniq 5-based robotaxis for the first time. Waymo said its sixth-generation hardware cuts sensor count 42 percent and costs under $20,000 per vehicle. Waymo processes more than 500,000 paid rides a week and targets 1 million by end-2026.

Waymo CEO says cameras alone cannot achieve full self-driving, points to Tesla limits
Waymo co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov said camera-only systems are unlikely to reach the safety level required for full self-driving, while they may be suitable for driver-assistance features. He described how combining cameras, lidar and radar improves perception in difficult conditions and cited examples from Phoenix and at night. Dolgov also said Waymo is on its sixth-generation hardware and costs have fallen each generation. Tesla and Waymo cited sharply different driverless mileage figures.
