Waymo’s approach to developing self-driving technology involves significant upfront and ongoing costs:

• Purchasing vehicles and sensors

• Developing software through paid driver testing

• Operating and maintaining a robotaxi fleet, including:

• Vehicle maintenance

• Cleaning and charging

• Logistics management

• Remote operator deployment

These factors contribute to a high cost per mile for Waymo’s operations leading to suspension of operations
