Deployment
Waymo Via (autonomous trucking) at Global
Waymo's autonomous-trucking program (Waymo Via), which applied the Waymo Driver to Class 8 trucks and ran supervised freight pilots with UPS, J.B. Hunt, and Wayfair (and a Daimler Truck partnership). Waymo suspended the Via trucking program in July 2023 to focus on robotaxi, and it was never revived. The Waymo Driver continues only in Waymo's robotaxi application.
