Dimitri Dolgov is co-CEO of Waymo.
He joined Google's self-driving car project in 2009 as one of its first engineers and was repeatedly promoted until he took it over in 2021.
Waymo is Google's most successful moonshot and now provides over 500,000 fully autonomous rides each week.

Yeah, cheers.
What year was this that you went back to Russia?
1994.

Right, a company that we're close to.
Exactly.
