Waymo Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana will deliver a keynote at CES 2027®, where she is expected to discuss the company’s autonomous ride-hailing service, safety initiatives, and plans for international expansion.
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, which owns and produces CES, announced that Mawakana will speak at 6:30 p.m. PST on Jan. 5 in the Palazzo Ballroom at The Venetian.
Waymo currently provides more than 500,000 autonomous rides each week. The company has expanded into 15 U.S. markets and recently began public operations in Las Vegas.
“Whether it’s getting to work, catching a flight or heading to a doctor, autonomous vehicles deliver convenience, accessibility and value,” said Kinsey Fabrizio, President and CEO, CTA. “Waymo is integrating frontier AI and robotics to create the future of mobility, and I look forward to hearing what’s next from Tekedra.”
Mawakana said the keynote will address the company’s efforts to expand autonomous transportation.
“Waymo is making fully autonomous transportation a seamless part of everyday life,” said Mawakana. “We’re scaling a service that gives people a safer, more reliable way to get where they need to go. CES is where the world experiences what’s next, and with Waymo, you can do more than imagine the future of mobility; you can hail it.”
During the presentation, Mawakana will discuss how Waymo approaches vehicle safety as it expands into additional markets and evolves its fleet. The company is developing autonomous driving technology intended to reduce risks associated with human factors such as driver fatigue, distraction and impairment.
“Waymo is making transportation safer, more accessible and more efficient,” said Gary Shapiro, Executive Chair, CTA. “Tekedra’s leadership reflects innovation that improves lives, sparks policy insights and drives the power of technology.”
In addition to the keynote, Waymo will exhibit at booth 3741 in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s West Hall from Jan. 6-9. Attendees will have an opportunity to experience the company’s autonomous ride service in Las Vegas.
