Waymo Zeekr With 6th Generation Waymo Driver And Windshield Wipers for Sensors

The Zeekr vehicle from Geely has already been spotted several times, as it is already being used for test drives in San Francisco. The vehicle was also unveiled at CES 2023. This time, however, there are some interesting details on the Waymo Driver of the 6th Generation that have not been seen before. These are cleaning systems for the sensors. The pictures show windshield wipers with spray nozzles for windshield wiper fluids attached to many of the cameras.

Here a handful of pictures:

Note: this vehicle still had a steering wheel, unlike the one shown at CES 2023.

In 2021, Waymo and Geely introduced a version of the new mobility-focused, all-electric Zeekr RT vehicle, designed for autonomous ride-hailing and testing on public roads today. The rider-first vehicle features a flat floor for easier ingress and egress, thanks to an integrated B-pillar design, low step-in height, generous head and legroom, and adjustable seats. While ensuring a level of safety consistent with U.S. federal vehicle standards now, our Waymo One riders will one day experience an interior without a steering wheel or pedals.

And here is a tour with close-ups of the vehicle and the sensors:
