绝望主妇

快科技8月23日消息，据Electrek报道，谷歌母公司Alphabet旗下自动驾驶公司Waymo日前宣布，新一代无人驾驶出租车Ojai正式向旧金山、洛杉矶和凤凰城三地全体公众开放商业运营。这款robotaxi的制造商正是中国吉利控股集团旗下高端电动车品牌极氪（Zeekr），这也意味着普通美国人首次有机会坐上中国制造的电动车，尽管他们仍无法在经销商处合法购买。据悉，Ojai基于极氪SEA-M架构打造，是一款专为无人驾驶场景定制的厢式电动车。今年5月28日起，Waymo曾以免费早鸟体验形式限量运营Ojai无人车，如今正式转入商业化阶段。    (ECNS) -- Robots designed to provide companionship, healthcare services and workplace assistance are moving closer to everyday life as the 2026 World Robot Conference opened in Beijing on Wednesday.    Beijing Cylingo Robotics presented a 65-centimeter-tall companion robot for family use, which can support scenarios such as child development, elderly care, and companionship for people living alone.    Hangzhou Eachi Future Intelligent Technology showcased a massage robot with a six-axis robotic arm that can analyze body conditions and provide massage services for healthcare, rehabilitation, and wellness applications.    The CyboPal desktop robotic assistant from Jiangsu Cytoderm Intelligent Technology can adjust its position based on users’ movements and help with computer tasks through voice or keyboard commands.    Sichuan Embodied Intelligent Robot Technology unveiled a humanoid robot for emotional interaction starting at 98,000 yuan (approximately $14,562). The robot can recognize facial expressions and voice and provide personalized responses. The company plans to expand its use from business scenarios to home applications.    The five-day conference, themed “Human-Robot Symbiosis, Production-Demand Convergence,” has attracted more than 300 robotics companies from China and abroad, showcasing over 3,000 exhibits.    (By Intern Liu Shuangjing, Zhang Dongfang)                    。Waymo目前拥有约3700辆捷豹I-PACE无人出租车，Ojai将与之并行运营，乘客附近有Ojai可用时系统会自动匹配，未来Waymo还将允许乘客在两款车型间自主选择。

而美国对中国电动车征收约127.5%的关税，加上2027年即将生效的联邦联网车辆规则，禁止使用来自中国或俄罗斯的车辆联网和驾驶辅助软硬件，实际上已将中国品牌乘用车挡在美国市场门外。但Waymo找到了绕行方案，据《福布斯》报道，自2024年以来Waymo已通过洛杉矶港进口超过3200辆极氪车辆，其中2026年单年就超过2600辆，全部缴纳高额关税。极氪车辆抵达美国时已移除中国产联网硬件和传感器，Waymo在亚利桑那州梅萨工厂与供应商麦格纳合作完成最终组装，搭载Waymo自主研发的第六代自动驾驶系统。换言之，乘客坐进的车身、电池和座舱都来自极氪，但“大脑”已替换为Waymo的。得益于极氪较低的基价，即便加上127.5%关税，整车成本仍预计低于被替换的捷豹I-PACE无人出租车的一半。而Waymo第六代Driver系统配备13个摄像头、4个激光雷达和6个毫米波雷达，传感器数量较第五代减少42%，单车硬件成本控制在2万美元以内。

C | Waymo目前每周在全美十余座城市完成约50万次付费出行，目标是将周单量提升至100万次。与此同时，Waymo还推出了集成Gemini的全新乘客App，Ojai后续将扩展至丹佛、圣地亚哥和拉斯维加斯等城市。
