According to Sawyer Merritt, Waymo is in active discussions to raise over $15 billion at a valuation approaching $100 billion, with Alphabet leading the investment round (source: Bloomberg, @SawyerMerritt). This follows their previous funding round in October 2024, where the company was valued at over $45 billion. The dramatic increase in valuation reflects robust investor confidence in Waymo's AI-driven autonomous vehicle technology and its commercialization prospects. For the AI industry, this signals expanding business opportunities in self-driving technology, data-driven mobility solutions, and large-scale deployment of AI-powered transportation systems.
