John Krafcik is exiting his role as Waymo's CEO after nearly six years of leading the self-driving car project at Google's parent company, Alphabet.
Krafcik, 59, said in a blog post published Friday that he is looking forward to a refresh period and discovering new parts of the world. He said he'd remain as an advisor to Waymo, and called it the "capstone" of his career in the auto industry. Prior to his role at Waymo, he worked at Hyundai, Ford, and NUMMI, a joint venture owned by GM and Toyota. Krafcik first joined Waymo in 2015, according to a LinkedIn post from the former CEO.
