China’s Geely Holding said its premium electric mobility brand, Zeekr, will make electric vehicles for Waymo, the self-driving unit of Alphabet Inc., to be deployed as fully autonomous ride-hailing vehicles across the United States.
The vehicles will be designed and developed at Zeekr’s facility in Sweden, and later integrated with Waymo’s self-driving technology, Geely said Tuesday.

Concept images published Tuesday show Waymo a spacious, low-to-the-ground minivan with seating for about five riders and sliding doors on each side serving as a stand-alone entryway.
Waymo is the first and only fully driverless taxi service in the United States. It has inspired thousands of people since the service was launched a year ago in Phoenix.
