Alphabet Waymo: Self-Driving Sensor Transport Cases
Challenge
Waymo operates self-driving taxi service in 25+ cities. They need cases for LiDAR sensors, cameras, radar units, and self-driving compute hardware transported between Waymo facilities and deployment cities. Cases must: (1) survive ground/air transport, (2) protect $50,000+ LiDAR sensors, (3) integrate with Waymo logistics, (4) be reusable 500+ cycles for ESG, (5) be ESD-safe for sensitive electronics.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided autonomous-grade cases with: (1) IP65 + ESD-safe compliance, (2) PP copolymer with anti-static and shock absorption, (3) custom foam for Waymo Driver 5th gen, LiDAR units, compute hardware, (4) serialized QR + Waymo logistics, (5) 500+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Waymo Driver, Velodyne Puck LiDAR, Continental radar, custom compute.
Result
2,200 cases deployed across 25+ cities. 18 months zero sensor damage. 100% ESD compliance. Waymo standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified autonomous vehicle case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Waymo operates self-driving taxi service in 25+ cities with strict sensor safety requirements. KeXinMaterials cases have proven IP65 and ESD compliance across our global deployment fleet. The 500+ cycle reusability supports our ESG goals. They're our standard autonomous case. — Waymo Global Hardware Operations Director
