You can now catch a ride in a Chinese-built electric vehicle across San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix as Waymo opens its next-generation Ojai robotaxi to everyone.
The vehicle is manufactured abroad, bringing a brand-new hardware platform to American streets. It gives regular passengers a rare chance to experience engineering from other countries without needing to import a car.
Right now, local drivers still cannot legally buy a Chinese-made electric vehicle for personal use.
While traditional automakers face steep tariffs and strict trade barriers that keep their models out of US showrooms, robotaxi fleets bypass these hurdles as commercial services.
Technology finds clever ways to cross borders long before showroom doors ever open.
A backdoor ride into the future.
