Опубликовано: 10 окт. 2018 г.We’re building the world’s most experienced driver, with over 10 million miles self-driven on public roads and almost 7 billion in simulation. Discover what we've seen and learned along the way from literal curveballs in our path, to navigating low-visibility dust storms, and more unexpected scenarios.
Sacha Arnoud, Director of Engineering, Waymo — MIT Self-Driving Cars
Опубликовано: 16 февр. 2018 г.This is a talk by Sacha Arnoud for course 6.S094: Deep Learning for Self-Driving Cars (2018 version). Sacha is the Director of Engineering at Waymo and his talk is titled «The rise of machine learning in self-driving cars.» This class is free and open to everyone. It is an introduction to the practice of deep learning through the applied theme of building a self-driving car.
Опубликовано: 5 дек. 2018 г.Today, Waymo rolls out a driverless taxi service called Waymo One in Arizona. The company has been operating self-driving cars, occasionally without safety drivers behind the wheel, for about a year and half now. The goal is to use all the data they have collected to make Waymo's autonomous vehicles the safest drivers on the road. Andrew Hawkins went down to Chandler, Arizona for a test ride.

How is LiDAR remote sensing used for Autonomous vehicles?
Опубликовано: 15 апр. 2018 г.Self-driving cars are now a reality. Take a look around. Cars are already driving themselves on the roads of California, Texas, Arizona, Washington, Pennsylvania, Michigan and many more cities. Though, currently they are restricted to specific test areas and driving conditions. But how exactly do they work?
Just like humans they also face issues of traffic congestion, rash driving, potholes, trees and other obstacles on the road. But again…How do they change lane, keep a safe distance from other vehicles passing by and how do they identify roadblocks.
Let’s take a closer look at how they handle such situations smoothly?
You might have noticed a rotating device installed on top of this autonomous vehicle. Sometimes these devices are mounted on the bonnet. This device is called LiDAR. It acts as the eye of self-driving vehicles providing a 360-degree view of its surroundings in order to enable safe driving.
Continuously rotating LiDAR system sends thousands of laser pulses every second. These pulses collide with the various objects around the vehicle and reflect back the signals. These light reflections are then used to create a 3D point cloud. An onboard computer records each laser’s reflection point and translates this rapidly updating point cloud… into an animated 3D representation.
Waymo, Google self-driving cars test-driving on public roads, without anyone in the driver’s seat
Опубликовано: 7 нояб. 2017 г.[video and following text by Waymo]
-----------------------------------
Waymo, which started as the Google self-driving car project in 2009, is ready for the next phase. Starting now, Waymo’s fully self-driving vehicles — the most advanced self-driving vehicles on the road today — are test-driving on public roads, without anyone in the driver’s seat. And soon, members of the public will get to use these vehicles in their daily lives.
After more than eight years of testing and development, we're ready to unlock the potential of fully self-driving technology, so we can make it easier and safer for everyone to get around.
