The press release was live-streamed, with the unveil of the car being around this time[0]. The main points is that it's an all-electric SUV, and Waymo has the ability to order up to 20,000 of these to add to their fleet.

Jaguar doesn't say "premium" to me. With all their electrical issues in the past, I'll be staying far away from an electric Jaguar.

You cannot compare Jaguar back then with today. Both Jaguar and Land Rover have been owned by Tata for a while now and today both companies produce state of the art vehicles with proper electrics. They mostly carry the name and a bit of the company tradition over from the past, but little else.
