Volvo will integrate Waymo’s autonomous driving tech into a fleet of electric robotaxis that it will deploy at some point in the future. Deal also applies to Volvo’s two subrands, its electric performance company Polestar and its Chinese brand Lynk & Co. https://t.co/lAOpBZUEo6

1) It's the first deal in which a major automaker is buying Waymo's hardware/software.
2) Volvo is working with $NVDA on Level 2+ cars, but chose Waymo for Level 4 cars.https://t.co/pZYyb7GC3E
