The head of Alphabet’s self-driving unit Waymo said on Friday he was stepping down as chief executive and would be replaced by a pair of executives.
“This is a choice John has made after a long and successful career in the automotive industry,” Waymo said in statement.
Dmitri Dolgov, one of the founders of the Google self-driving car project, and Tekedra Mawakana, who was Waymo’s chief operating officer and has worked at a number of tech firms, will serve as co-CEOs, the company said.
“We’re committed to working alongside you to build, deploy, and commercialize the Waymo Driver,” the co-CEOs said in the statement.
