Waymo has purchased a 5,500-acre proving ground in Arizona from a Delaware shell company linked to Apple for $220 million. The site features extensive facilities including a city course, vehicle dynamics area, oval track, and freeway course designed for autonomous vehicle testing. This acquisition enhances Waymo's existing test network and supports its expansion in autonomous vehicle development and commercial robotaxi services. The property was previously owned by Apple, which used it for its now-canceled Project Titan car initiative. Waymo plans to use the site for advanced testing and training to improve its self-driving technology as it grows its fleet and service areas.
