CNN
Waymo, the self-driving arm of Google's parent company Alphabet, and Chinese carmaker Geely have partnered to build electric, fully autonomous ride-hailing vehicles to be used across the united States.
The self-driving arm of Google (GOOGL) parent company Alphabet announced the partnership Tuesday, calling the deployment of the cars a big part of its commitment to "expanding access to sustainable transportation."
Both firms said in press releases that the ride-hailing cars would be designed and developed by Zeekr, Geely's electric mobility brand, at a facility in Sweden using "a new proprietary and open-source mobility architecture."

The photographer Alice Mann documented the increasingly lavish dances for five years in her new book, “The Night is Young.”
