Alphabet’s Waymo is adding newly designed vehicles to its fleet of robotaxis. The new Ojai minivans are roomier, have a removable steering wheel and cost less to manufacture than prior Waymo models. Waymo is starting to offer select customers rides in its new Ojai robotaxis, which are designed to work better in snowier conditions and are cheaper to manufacture than the company’s older fleet of cars. Rides will be available to some public passengers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix, before opening up in San Diego, Las Vegas and Denver this summer. Alphabet’s self-driving division already had 100 Ojai vehicles on the road as part of its almost 4,000-car fleet. CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos takes a ride in the new robotaxi to find out what it’s like and how it differs from Waymo’s Jaguar I-PACE.

Adoption is already shifting, with Chinese models taking a growing share of enterprise AI traffic.

As trading revenue slows, companies including Coinbase, Robinhood, Circle, Bullish and Gemini are trying to show they can own the systems that issue, trade, settle and record assets.
