The next-generation robotaxi, called the Waymo Ojai, is central to the company's push towards mass scale, and eventually, profitability.

The partnership is expanding beyond the initial market of Zagreb, Croatia to four additional European cities.

This marks the official launch of Zoox's commercial operations.

Waymo has dropped the waitlist for its robotaxi service in Dallas, the latest step in the company's bid to scale its self-driving technology across the United States, U.K., and Europe.
