Overview
- Martha Stewart is fronting a Waymo video series and interviews that present the Ojai as a “home away from home,” highlighting privacy, work-friendly space and in‑vehicle AI for media and productivity.
- Waymo opened public service for the Ojai after May 2026 and riders can book the vehicle in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix through the Waymo app.
- The Ojai’s interior features elevator‑style sliding doors, a flat floor for accessibility, three large LED screens and Google Gemini‑enabled controls for things like temperature and entertainment.
- Waymo is scaling the Ojai by importing Zeekr‑built minivan chassis for U.S. final assembly and using a smaller, higher‑resolution sixth‑generation sensor suite to lower unit costs and expand fleet size.
- The Martha Stewart campaign aims to normalize autonomous rides for everyday use and could speed wider consumer acceptance as Waymo rolls out more vehicles and city service areas.
