Waymo is buying Apple’s abandoned self-driving car proving ground for $220 million, according to reports. The deal covers the test site Apple previously used for autonomous vehicle development. Apple has exited the consumer self-driving effort, and multiple outlets describe the facility as no longer in active use for that work. Waymo, the autonomous driving company backed by Alphabet, and Apple had previously been direct rivals in the self-driving vehicle space. The reported purchase price is $220 million, and the transaction reflects Waymo’s continued expansion of infrastructure and development capabilities for testing and operations. The sources characterize the proving ground as an asset tied to Apple’s earlier autonomous vehicle efforts rather than an operating product line. Details beyond the purchase price and the nature of the facility are limited in the information provided, and the reports do not describe changes to ownership structure or timelines for transition. The agreement represents a transfer of testing infrastructure from Apple to Waymo as Apple’s self-driving activities wind down.
