Mu gitondo cyo kuwa kabiri, Waymo yahishuye umufatanyabikorwa wayo mushya kuri serivisi yayo ya tagisi ikora: Jaguar. Izi sosiyete zombi zirimo gukorana mu kubaka imodoka nini zitwara abagenzi za I-Paces, imodoka nshya za Jaguar zikoresha batiri (BEV), zizatangira kugurishwa mu mpera z'uyu mwaka. Izi modoka zizatangira kugeragezwa uyu mwaka zinjire muri Waymo mu 2020. Iyi ni itegeko rikomeye cyane - Umuyobozi Mukuru wa Waymo, John Kravsick, yavuze ko hazubakwa imodoka nini zigera ku 20.000 zitwara abagenzi mu myaka ibiri ya mbere.
Ikindi kandi, guhuza sensor za Waymo n'ikoranabuhanga ryo gutwara ibintu mu buryo bwigenga bizubakwa muri izi I-Paces zo mu ruganda rwa Graz muri Otirishiya. Imodoka nto ya Waymo ya Pacifica Hybrid yatanzwe na Chrysler nyuma ihindurwa na Waymo, ariko nk'uko yo na Uber (Volvo XC90 yayo yanyuze mu nzira nk'iyi) babimenye, ubu si uburyo bwiza bwo gukora ibintu.
Krafcik yagize ati: “Nubwo twibandaga kuri Waymo kugira ngo itoze abashoferi bafite uburambe kurusha abandi ku isi, itsinda rya Jaguar Land Rover ryateguye urubuga rushya rw’amashanyarazi rukoresha batiri, ryizeye gushyiraho amahame mashya mu bijyanye n’umutekano, imiterere n’ubushobozi.” “Twizeye ko abagenzi ba Waymo bazishimira uburambe bwiza, bwiza kandi bushimishije butangwa na I-PACE yo gutwara imodoka mu buryo bwigenga.”
Mu kiganiro n'abanyamakuru, Krafcik yasobanuye ko urubuga rwa kabiri rw'imodoka (usibye minivan zavuzwe haruguru) rwatoranyijwe kugira ngo abaguzi bahabwe amahitamo. Ku bakeneye umwanya munini, hazabaho Pacifica, mu gihe Jaguar yongeraho andi mahitamo meza kandi magufi. Ibi bivuze kandi ko Waymo izaba ifite amahitamo akoresha amashanyarazi gusa - ayo Pacificas ni imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi zivanze - kandi kompanyi yigenga ntabwo izaba ifitanye isano n'imodoka imwe.
Kuri Jaguar Land Rover, iyi nayo ni inyungu ikomeye. Mu myaka ya vuba aha, mu maboko ya Tata, iyi sosiyete yakoze byinshi kugira ngo yongere kumenyekana nk'uruganda rukora imodoka rureba imbere, kandi izaba imodoka ya mbere y'akataraboneka ishyize mu bikorwa imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi kugira ngo zihangane n'ikirango cya Tesla. Nubwo ifite gahunda yayo yo gutwara imodoka yigenga, nta gushidikanya ko Waymo iri imbere cyane kurusha izindi nganda muri urwo rwego.
Porofeseri Dr. Ralf Speth, Umuyobozi Mukuru wa Jaguar Land Rover, yagize ati: "Dufite Jaguar I-Pace, dufite imodoka yo ku rwego rwo hejuru ikurura abakiriya hirya no hino ku isi. Ishyaka ryacu ryo gukomeza iterambere ry’ingendo nziza risaba abafatanyabikorwa b’inzobere mu gihe kirekire. Mu guhuza imbaraga na Waymo, turimo gufungura imipaka y’ikoranabuhanga. Dufatanyije tuzatanga umuvuduko mu bidukikije, dufite ubwiza, umwanya n’ibyo abakiriya biteze."
Waymo arateganya gutangiza serivisi yo gutwara abantu mu modoka mu buryo bw’ubucuruzi i Phoenix mu 2018, ariko kubera ko hatumijwe imodoka nyinshi zikoresha ikoranabuhanga rya I-Paces, twizera ko izi modoka zikoresha amashanyarazi zizatanga serivisi mu yindi mijyi mu 2020.
