About 20 minutes east of Phoenix’s airport in Mesa, Arizona, is a 239,000-square-foot factory that opened in October. Every day, it churns out several battery-powered, white Jaguar I-PACE electric SUVs loaded up with the company’s custom-designed computer, cameras, radar and laser lidar sensors on a single production line.
Inside the cavernous space, there are no conveyor belts or loud metal stamping you’d see at traditional assembly plants. The work pace is steady but not high volume. Raw cars roll into the building at one end, with plastic covers on the body panels over precut sections where sensors will be installed.
Nice article. It really gives a walk tour of the Waymo factory building. Besides, it also tells how waymo competition, like Tesla's projected cybercab, will be faring against it once out.
