Google’s parent company Alphabet is continuing its push for a presence in China with a new Waymo subsidiary, based in Shanghai. Waymo – one of the world’s leading autonomous car designers — has confirmed it has set up a legal entity in the country and has people working there, but hasn’t commented on its future plans.
The move marks the latest attempt by Alphabet to move into China, where many of its Google services are blocked. But the autonomous vehicle industry is rapidly developing in the country, so it makes sense for Alphabet to get in as early as it can.
