快科技8月23日消息，据Electrek报道，谷歌母公司Alphabet旗下自动驾驶公司Waymo日前宣布，
新一代无人驾驶出租车Ojai正式向旧金山、洛杉矶和凤凰城三地全体公众开放商业运营。 Legendary actor Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89, and the film industry is still in mourning. Sriram Raghavan, the director of Ikkis, delivered one of the most poignant words among the numerous sincere condolences that poured in, remembering the legendary star with profound love and appreciation. Calling his demise an irreplaceable void, Raghavan said, “It’s a deeply personal loss. A top star, fine actor and most vitally, a warm and wonderful human being.
Dharmendra’s death comes just days before what would have been his 90th birthday on December 8. The month of December is now expected to be marked by a series of tributes honouring his remarkable cinematic journey—from the re-release of his timeless classic Sholay on December 12 to the arrival of his final on-screen performance in Raghavan’s upcoming military drama Ikkis, slated for a Christmas release on December 25.

As part of the film's release, Raghavan and producer Dinesh Vijan want to pay a sincere tribute to Dharmendra, according to Pooja Ladha Surti, the film's editor and co-writer, who also expressed her sorrow. She praised the actor for his unparalleled professionalism and generosity, pointing out that despite his decades of expertise, he never hesitated during retakes and maintained the same enthusiasm as a novice.
Ikkis tells the tale of India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who bravely fought in the Indo-Pak War in 1971. One of the most emotionally impactful elements of Dharmendra's late career is his portrayal of Khetarpal's father. His performance is anticipated to have a profound impact on viewers due to the film's poignant subject matter as well as the fact that it concludes a tremendous cinematic legacy.
As Bollywood and fans prepare to celebrate Dharmendra’s life and artistry throughout December, Ikkis stands as a moving farewell—one legend telling the story of another.

这款robotaxi的制造商正是中国吉利控股集团旗下高端电动车品牌极氪（Zeekr），这也意味着普通美国人首次有机会坐上中国制造的电动车，尽管他们仍无法在经销商处合法购买。据悉，Ojai基于极氪SEA-M架构打造，是一款专为无人驾驶场景定制的厢式电动车。今年5月28日起，Waymo曾以免费早鸟体验形式限量运营Ojai无人车，如今正式转入商业化阶段。
Waymo目前拥有约3700辆捷豹I-PACE无人出租车，Ojai将与之并行运营，乘客附近有Ojai可用时系统会自动匹配，未来Waymo还将允许乘客在两款车型间自主选择。
而美国对中国电动车征收约127.5%的关税，加上2027年即将生效的联邦联网车辆规则，禁止使用来自中国或俄罗斯的车辆联网和驾驶辅助软硬件，实际上已将中国品牌乘用车挡在美国市场门外。但Waymo找到了绕行方案，据《福布斯》报道，自2024年以来Waymo已通过洛杉矶港进口超过3200辆极氪车辆，其中2026年单年就超过2600辆，全部缴纳高额关税。极氪车辆抵达美国时已移除中国产联网硬件和传感器，Waymo在亚利桑那州梅萨工厂与供应商麦格纳合作完成最终组装，搭载Waymo自主研发的第六代自动驾驶系统。换言之，乘客坐进的车身、电池和座舱都来自极氪，但“大脑”已替换为Waymo的。得益于极氪较低的基价，即便加上127.5%关税，整车成本仍预计低于被替换的捷豹I-PACE无人出租车的一半。而Waymo第六代Driver系统配备13个摄像头、4个激光雷达和6个毫米波雷达，传感器数量较第五代减少42%，单车硬件成本控制在2万美元以内。Ojai的内饰同样为无人驾驶场景量身定制，低地板平踏设计、两侧宽大的侧滑门、三块后排自适应屏幕（分别显示路线、音乐和空调控制），还配备充电接口、杯架、扶手及盲文标识等无障碍设施。截至上周，Waymo已在亚利桑那工厂囤积近1000辆Ojai，正加速改装部署。Waymo目前每周在全美十余座城市完成约50万次付费出行，目标是将周单量提升至100万次。与此同时，Waymo还推出了集成Gemini的全新乘客App，Ojai后续将扩展至丹佛、圣地亚哥和拉斯维加斯等城市。
