Mawakana’s address is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. PST on January 6, 2027, in the Palazzo Ballroom at the Venetian. Her presentation will focus on the company's efforts to reduce the 1.19 million annual global traffic deaths by deploying a system that remains alert, sober, and tireless. Beyond safety statistics, she is expected to discuss the logistical hurdles of international expansion and the rapid evolution of the Waymo fleet.

Kinsey Fabrizio, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, described the choice of Mawakana as a reflection of Waymo’s role in merging frontier AI with robotics. Mawakana, who served on the CTA Board of Industry Leaders from 2019 to 2021, has been recognized on the TIME 100 AI list for her contributions to mobility. The keynote will also serve as a practical demonstration; with Las Vegas now serving as the company's 15th U.S. market, conference attendees will have the chance to hail rides during the event. Waymo will maintain a presence at booth 3741 in the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall throughout the duration of the summit.
