Tesla's Former Vehicle Program Chief Joins Waymo Ahead of Robotaxi Unveiling

Daniel Ho transitions to Waymo as Tesla prepares to reveal its highly anticipated Robotaxi, marking a significant executive shift in the EV industry.

Daniel Ho, previously Tesla's head of vehicle programs, is now a program director at Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle division.
Ho's departure from Tesla follows a mass layoff earlier this year, where several top executives left the company.
During his tenure at Tesla, Ho contributed to the production ramp-up of the Model Y and Cybertruck and oversaw the launch of new factories in Berlin and Texas.
Waymo is expanding its robotaxi lineup, recently adding the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and preparing to scale its Zeekr robotaxis.
Tesla's Robotaxi program, which Ho helped lay the groundwork for, is set to be unveiled later this week.
