Waymo is worth billions, on the order of 30 billion. They will not just shut it down. A sale or spinoff is possible but not a shutdown.

That's all possible future revenue. Currently there is no revenue and no customers. Companies in that state can go to zero very quickly.

It probably wouldn't go to zero. The IP and other assets are likely worth something to an automaker or auto supplier. But that number would doubtless be a lot less than valuation based on being the pre-eminent self-driving company in the very near future.
