Mysterious Vans in LA – Unveiling the Surprising Truth
Residents of Los Angeles were left scratching their heads as strange vans began appearing on their streets. The robovans, with their unfamiliar badge and flat nose, seemed like nothing anyone had seen before. However, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for these mysterious vehicles.
The camouflaged vans don’t resemble any familiar cars, leaving good car spotters puzzled. Despite having US-spec side markers, the badge remained unrecognizable. The key to their identity lies in the back window, which is emblazoned with ‘automated vehicle, may stop suddenly.’ This clue reveals that these are Waymo robovans, part of the self-driving robotaxi company’s fleet.
Waymo is a prominent player in the autonomous vehicle space, currently operating in four US cities: Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin. The company is set to expand to Miami soon. These particular vans are called Zeekr robovans, manufactured by the Chinese automaker Geely. They’re larger than the standard Waymo taxi and represent a new partnership between Waymo and Geely.
The appearance of these vans marks an exciting development in autonomous technology. Geely isn’t stopping there – they also plan to introduce flying robotaxis in the future. As these strange vans continue to be spotted on LA streets, they represent a significant step forward in the world of autonomous vehicles.
