OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) – Waymo, the Alphabet Inc-owned self-driving auto-technology company, will no longer be attending the Consumer Electronics Show in person early next month due to rising COVID-19 infections.
The company said in a blog post on Thursday that it hopes to participate virtually if possible at the event, which traditionally has drawn over 180,000 people from around the world to discuss emerging technologies. Several other companies including Meta Platforms Inc and Twitter Inc dropped out earlier this week on similar concerns.
