Can Martha Stewart convince you Waymo is a good thing?
Domestic goddess Martha Stewart has given her stamp of approval to Waymo's newest autonomous vehicle, the Ojai.
View this post on Instagram Stewart partnered with Google-owned Waymo for a spot promoting the Ojai, a roomier alternative to Waymo's increasingly ubiquitous Jaguar I-PACE cars.
The Ojai, now available for driverless rides in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix, features automatic sliding doors, a comfier interior, and three large in-car screens outfitted with (what else?) Gemini AI tech .
Waymo refers to the Ojai as a "living room on wheels." The custom-made Ojai certainly seems like an upgrade from the Jaguars, but it lacks the innovative carriage-style seating offered by Zoox , Amazon's robotaxi company.
Zoox allows riders to sit across from each other and the vehicles can drive in either direction seamlessly since they don't have a formal front or rear.

Besides offering service to nearly a dozen Sun Belt cities (and San Francisco), Waymo plans to launch in places like New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Tokyo, according to its website.
