Autonomous vehicle startup Waymo has been valued at more than $45 billion in the latest funding round of the Google parent-owned company, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report said Waymo had raised $5.6B in new capital at an undisclosed value. The round was led by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG).
Existing investors who participated in the funding include Andreessen Horowitz, Fidelity, Perry Creek, Silver Lake, Tiger Global, and T. Rowe Price, the report said.
