  "account": "Alphabet's Waymo is nearing an agreement to raise debt totaling over $3 billion, according to Bloomberg News, citing sources familiar with the matter. The funding would come from lenders such as Pacific Investment Management, Blackstone, and Sixth Street Partners, the report stated. This move into debt financing comes as Waymo competes with Amazon's Zoox and Tesla in the growing robotaxi market, which has significant potential. The debt would be unsecured and could have a high interest rate, potentially more than 500 basis points above the benchmark. Waymo is actively seeking capital to expand its autonomous vehicle fleet and to manage rising artificial intelligence costs. The company is currently in final negotiations with Goldman Sachs to finalize the deal, though the terms may still be subject to change. In February, Waymo completed a $16 billion funding round that valued the company at $126 billion, nearly tripling its value within two years.",
