Welcome to a special edition of Bloomberg Tech.

I'm Ed Ludlow.

Waymo is widely seen as leading the robo-taxi race, but with competitors like Tesla on its heel, the Alphabet unit has no interest in hitting the brakes on growth.

In a wide-ranging interview, Waymo co-CEO Takedra Mawakana talked to us about expanding into foreign markets, ongoing safety investigations, and their recent mega-funding round.

Let's take a listen to that conversation now.

You've just raised $16 billion.

That's a lot of money.

What does it unlock for Waymo over the next 12, 24 months?

I should point out, you know, we reported Alphabet will account for the vast majority of that 16 billion.

But it is interesting.
