Waymo not too long ago employed former Tesla government Danial Ho as a “Program Director.”
In keeping with Ho’s LinkedIn, he has been working at Waymo for 2 months. The previous Tesla government’s LinkedIn account doesn’t present particulars about his position as “Program Director” at Waymo. Nonetheless, his position at Tesla may give some clues.
Ho’s labored at Tesla for 10 years, sporting a number of hats. His final three roles at Tesla had been “Tesla Mannequin 3 Program Supervisor,” “Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y Program Supervisor,“ and “Director, Automobile Applications and New Product Introduction.“
Primarily based on his final roles at Tesla, Ho could also be concerned in launching Waymo’s upcoming service or merchandise. Final week, Waymo introduced a partnership with Hyundai Motor Firm. By way of the collaboration, Waymo will combine its autonomous tech, the Waymo Driver, into Hyundai’s all-electric IONIQ 5 EV.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 EV might be a part of the Waymo One fleet.
“We’re thrilled to companion with Hyundai as we additional our mission to be the world’s most trusted driver,“ stated Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo. “Hyundai’s deal with sustainability and robust electrical automobile roadmap makes them an excellent companion for us as we carry our totally autonomous service to extra riders in additional locations.”
Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet will probably compete with the Waymo One fleet. Tesla will unveil its robotaxi automobile, the Cybercab, on October 10, 2024.
