The parent company would provide about $13 billion to the robotaxi firm, while the rest would come from others, including new investors Sequoia Capital, DST Global and Dragoneer Investment Group, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Mubadala Capital is also investing in the round, some of the people said.
