They're spending a lot on the sensors anyway, so they might as well invest in a super nice experience all around to make it worthwhile.

Haven’t jaguars always been a mixed bag? Kind of low quality luxury, so I can imagine them getting some kind of deal. The irony is that jaguar used to be know for its really bad electrical wiring back in the 70s.

I did spot a Waymo Zeekr on the street in San Francisco the other day. But all the other Waymos I've seen lately are still Jaguars.

It's because the car is contract-manufactured by Magna and they came to a convenient agreement to get thousands of white cars with extra holes.
