Waymo and Zeekr Unveil Zeekr RT Robotaxi at CES 2025
At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the partnership between Waymo and Zeekr took center stage as they showcased the latest innovation in autonomous vehicles—the Zeekr RT robotaxi. This unveiling provided a closer look at the cutting-edge technology that will shape the future of transportation.
Revolutionary Sensor Technology
One of the standout features of the Zeekr RT robotaxi is its advanced sensor technology. The vehicle is equipped with 13 cameras, four lidar, six radar, and an array of external audio receivers. This sophisticated setup allows the robotaxi to navigate its surroundings with precision and efficiency.
During the presentation at CES 2025, attendees were able to witness the intricate sensor-cleaning system designed by Waymo. The sensors on the front and back of the robotaxi are equipped with small wipers to ensure optimal performance in all conditions. This attention to detail highlights the commitment to safety and reliability in autonomous driving.
Future Plans for the Zeekr RT
Zeekr announced at CES 2025 that they will start delivering mass-produced Zeekr RTs to Waymo later this year. While these initial vehicles will be used for testing purposes, they are set to join Waymo’s commercial fleet in the future. This marks a significant milestone in the development of fully autonomous vehicles.
Waymo’s rigorous testing process involves validating the production-intent robotaxis before transitioning to driverless mode. The company’s dedication to safety and innovation ensures that the Zeekr RT will meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
The Future of Autonomous Driving
As technology continues to evolve, the partnership between Waymo and Zeekr represents a major step forward in the field of autonomous driving. The Zeekr RT robotaxi showcases the latest advancements in sensor technology and vehicle design, setting a new standard for the future of transportation.
With their combined expertise and commitment to innovation, Waymo and Zeekr are shaping the future of mobility and revolutionizing the way we travel. The unveiling of the Zeekr RT at CES 2025 marks the beginning of a new era in autonomous driving, where safety, efficiency, and sustainability are at the forefront of transportation innovation.
