This video is EXACTLY what the general public needs so that they can better understand the technology and begin to trust it! Tesla owners warm up to Autopilot pretty quickly, but it seems like the general public doesn't seem to want to trust self driving cars. Waymo, thank you for pushing the industry. I firmly believe without your legwork, self-driving technology would not be evolving at such a rapid pace.
John Doe yes I’m absolutely fine with self driving cars BUT I think that we should have a function to have a way to control the car I’m fine with Tesla autopilot but people shouldn’t 100% not be able to drive we shouldn’t rely on tech that much but I’m ok with most things
"understand the technology" lmao Understand the opper most level of abstraction, you mean. Understand "if I tell it to go to B, it goes to B, safely". The technology behind this thing is the work of hundreds of thousands of people working for decades.
My mum is in her early 70s and is still capable of driving herself. However, long journeys are extremely tiring for her and some day soon she may have to give it up and lose her independence. Hopefully for her, some autonomous driving tech will facilitate her to carry on driving if not fully autonomously at first.
I live in Florida surrounded by people as old as I am and older. We need all the driving assistance we can get. ASAP. It does not have to be perfect. Just better than we drive. That should not be too hard? For instance: My neighbor is 98 and had to give up his drivers liscence because of a small accident. What is he going to do in an area laid out for car transport only? Taxi? Relatives? Kindness of strangers? BTW, his mind is sharp. Eyes and ears as good as mine. Just old. Wants to be independent. Like me. WAYMO should get a medal IMHO.
You have to start somewhere. Of course, self driving cars are likely to be limited to 1st world counties with decent roads, but history has shown over time tech improves exponentially.
In a couple decades the horrible driving skills of humans wont even be allowed on the road anymore, and it will be a good thing. Accident rates are going to be lower than they have ever been.
And if everyone has a self-driving car, multiple cars could likely communicate so that they can tell each other where they're going, to help to further avoid crashes.
Jeah it would also help with pseudo jams. I'm not sure what the correct term is in english, but basically if somebody brakes on the highway it can cause a jam "without a real cause". That jam could be solved in a few seconds if all cars just sped up by the same amount at the same time. But of course for humans such a task is impossibe. Self driving cars are probably better at driving than the average human, even today. The testing phase is just longer since lives are on the line. And of course because of the entire moral dilema.
Autopilot solutions that use LIDAR do not make autopilot truly universal, and only autopilot solutions using computer vision are the protagonists of the future!
红太阳 That'd be if you want to mimic human driving. We almost exclusively rely on vision. But that's not the goal of autonomous driving. The goal is to be a huge lot better than human drivers by not only avoiding human errors and inattention but also utilizing advanced sensors like LIDAR.
If you rely on the laser radar just means lower reliability! Because Lidar can not work in many special weather conditions, there are many black hole problems
红太阳 It was mentioned, that the vehicles incorporate high res cameras and computer vision as well. Of course I cannot tell how far this is involved in actual environment scan, but I believe Waymo uses those for this as well.
Actually, in rain or fog, it will propably be way better than us. Better management of slippery road, radars are working through rain and fog, not our eyes, etc.
Are any of the road-test or simulation also done for European driving situations? I can tell from experience that is quite a difference not only between US and EU but even between European countries
No I think it might be a lot sooner but they will be Chinese brands. Somehow US brands never seem interested in the huge market that is the EU. I still can not buy a Pixel phone or a Google Home here in Spain.
All Chinese cars will run on Google technology. That's because Europe will never trust it's Data to Chinese government. Just look at your Android phone.
The Chinese are already starting data centers in Europe aimed at AI, to comply with EU regulations. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180227005667/en/Alibaba-Cloud-Launches-Cloud-AI-Solutions-Europe
I desperately want this for my simple freeway 40 minute commute to work in Utah. That's an hour and twenty minutes of unproductivity every single day. I'm not getting any younger. I'm very excited to have an autonomous car someday soon.
You have to count commute time into your working hours. If they pay for it or not is a different thing, but when racing job offers there is no difference.
Why did that dipship self driving car stop about 10 feet before the stop line at the beginning of the video? I still like the idea though. A self driving car is a lot safer than a car driven by someone who is tired or pissed off.
I'm gonna tell you now that self driving cars will NOT replace manual cars ever. No way no how. Also who else is getting Matrix vibes were we take a strong step too far in technology and it will eventually turn against us
konsul2006 I'm sure the bright minds and millions of dollars behind this project have thought lots about this to the point where it's not going to be a problem
aviationboy8 What, because people with engineering backgrounds who have dealt with remote sensing can't have a say in the conversation? As if time or frequency modulation isn't something that's already a well understood concept? Not everyone on RUclips is an intellectual dullard.
Can they read, understand & obey every road sign & what happens if the vehicles come to an intersection etc where the traffic lights are not working & a human pointsman is on duty directing traffic in certain directions?
it has so many upsides that even if it did result in some mistakes or accidents its still easily worth it. My biggest worry though is all the people that drive for a living. I mean there are tons and tons of people that drive taxi or semi for a living that would lose their jobs.
I wonder if there will be any interesting news at SXSW? Maybe Austin test rides during SXSW or even a real public launch date for Phoenix (finally) would be nice.
I have finished watching this video completely. (我看完這部影片了) I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs. (我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人) And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world. (但是，很不幸地，我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。) Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive. (希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。) God bless Taiwan. (天佑台灣。)
Lol not going to lie for the first like 30 seconds of this video I was thinking it was poorly made because I could only see a shot of the ground. Thank you video for new interactive RUclips experience and making me feel like an idiot 😂
Kudos to the production and cgi teams for incredible visualizations to help us appreciate the technology all the more. Can't wait to experience this first-hand after watching the project come to life here (living 10 minutes from this video.)
How does it handles another autonomous card next to it, does the lidar or the radar causes interference? What about tens of them, would them intercommunicate and help each other? If they do, would a rogue car make the other act erroneously?
I don't know about autonomous vehicles from other companies but I emailed a similar question and the response was that vehicles from Waymo will be able to communicate information between each other. That was more than a year ago though, the cars probably do it now.
To me its better to leave the cars alone, and let them navigate alone. Communication between them opens up all kinds off issues, and hacking needs to be considered. Nothing is hack proof, and we dont need fleets of cars all being hacked because they are on the same network.
Wild West, I agree. John Krafcik mentioned that the vehicles mostly operate offline and only connect online if they need to. Meaning most of the information is stored locally on the main and backup computing systems. Hacking would be very difficult if that's the case, hopefully they'll have a bunch of fail safes and enough encryption to minimize it further.
Seeing those construction worker. Would the car be able to recognize any hand held street sign? Like a worker holding up a stop sign in a construction area. If it read it but then the work turn the stop sign away, would the car think it is clear to go when it is not?
It doesn't have intuition though, or the ability to read other driver's body language or the subtle queues coming from the way they're driving which give insight into what they're trying to do or might do next.
I'm wondering if it would work where i live. this road by my house is blocked by a tree so you cant see if other cars are coming or not. unless you pull like half way into the road. also you can get stuck on this one hill by my house if you stop at the top of it when it snows.
Interference is very rare because of the specific direction, timing, etc. Though theoretically possible with lots right next to each other, but there are safeguards and usually the interference is only blips of noise, not continuous pictures of the wrong data. Long term though lidar will probably be replaced by cameras as computer vision gets better.
You know, in a truly driverless world, there will be no need for traffic lights, road signs.. or even "roads". Intelligent vehicles will just travel ANYWHERE. Cars themselves won't need dashboards, headlights, windshield wipers etc.
Suppose a pedestrian is crossing a road towards a traffic island in the middle (not sure you have these in the US?) As a human driver, I need to know whether the pedestrian has seen me. If he hasn't, I need to slam on the brakes, as he may continue to cross the road (into the path of my car). Presumably the AI will have to have the same ability?
The car see's a total distance of two football fields away in ALL directions. The AI predicts the likely hood of all outcomes each second. It would see the pedestrian before they even moved to the Island in the first place. It would then monitor the pedestrian and react accordingly based on what they do. The human driver has a very limited field of view when it comes to driving. If the driver looks in their rear view mirror, they are not monitoring the road in front of them. With self-driving cars, they see in all directions at all times while predicting and adapting to what every single moving object is doing around them. They are far more attentive and will be a thousand times safer than any human could ever be behind a wheel. Just gotta get out all the kinks before they go national. :)
Joonas Vali That's not how it works in British cities where pedestrian islands are common. You have to be aware of whether the pedestrian is going to stop at the island, or obliviously walk into your path.
Nice and interesting car it's have an nice radar detector , camara and so on . I like this car so so much it's have an shiny design .This car is an One of best car in the wor
@waymo Is this actual live feed data from a Waymo vehicle, or just an artistic rendering of what is actually happening? I totally believe Waymo is the future, but I think only the former is going to convince people, if it's the later. Basically anyone can claim that's what they self-driving car is doing.

The Nerdy Engineer look if there is a steering wheel for an OPTION to drive yourself then it’s fine

"understand the technology" lmao
Understand the opper most level of abstraction, you mean. Understand "if I tell it to go to B, it goes to B, safely". The technology behind this thing is the work of hundreds of thousands of people working for decades.
I wonder what the repair cost is of these things when something goes wrong, or stops working.
This is gonna make a car cost waymo money.
Martin Dennis haha and no one liked this comment just me i got it ;)
Martin Dennis punchline 😎😎😎
Waymor moni, u rite
I see what you did,
They could cut down the cost by partnering with a 3d printing car company
Cant wait to see blind people to finally have chance to live independent fully like this! 😘👍
Also the blind drunk!
I just want to be able to drive and be like "Hey look, no hands!"
My mum is in her early 70s and is still capable of driving herself. However, long journeys are extremely tiring for her and some day soon she may have to give it up and lose her independence. Hopefully for her, some autonomous driving tech will facilitate her to carry on driving if not fully autonomously at first.
you mean everyone not just those who cant see
And the disabled/elderly
What a time to be alive!
yea right, what a time to be ali...*BOOM*
you need to have testing experience on Russian roads
Hobo Hahahah!
Try Indian roads. Their processors will fry up and the car will come apart.
Hobo G why so you can steal the technology like your country does with everything
And Brazilian roads... then I'll believe!
Alex Benfica I can see it now South Americans using this to transport their drugs I ...mean people around
I've been seeing these vans all over here in Chandler. Havnt seen one make a bad move yet.
I have. They slow down unpredictively and turn.
I live in Florida surrounded by people as old as I am and older. We need all the driving assistance we can get. ASAP. It does not have to be perfect. Just better than we drive. That should not be too hard?
For instance: My neighbor is 98 and had to give up his drivers liscence because of a small accident. What is he going to do in an area laid out for car transport only? Taxi? Relatives? Kindness of strangers?
BTW, his mind is sharp. Eyes and ears as good as mine. Just old. Wants to be independent. Like me.
WAYMO should get a medal IMHO.
Bet this car won't move an inch in indian roads.
Actually Indian roads are easier. Less rules.
You have to start somewhere. Of course, self driving cars are likely to be limited to 1st world counties with decent roads, but history has shown over time tech improves exponentially.
I think he meant that there is always motorcycles and people on the road. So, this car, which is really carefull, will never be able to drive ^^
Le Collectionneur yep, also people here don't follow traffic rules.. A two lane highway would suddenly become 6 lane highway in no time
why not? I see Horrible drivers in Minneapolis all the time. india can't be as bad as that.
In a couple decades the horrible driving skills of humans wont even be allowed on the road anymore, and it will be a good thing.

Fabian H. traffic snakes! I believe CGPGrey has a video about this.
Talk about YOUR horrible driving skills.
Joaquin Andreu Lol what are you even talking about

WAYMO mainly use LIDAR!
Thank you
Can we get a 360° degree Waymo experience in the rain or snow storm?
can you a give a technology chance to evolve and mature, before asking it to solve hardest challanges while in the babyshoes?
and don't forget fog
Actually, in rain or fog, it will propably be way better than us. Better management of slippery road, radars are working through rain and fog, not our eyes, etc.
Joonas: Well, 2 states have just granted driverless cars permission to drive on the road so it better work.
its amazing🚗
Are any of the road-test or simulation also done for European driving situations? I can tell from experience that is quite a difference not only between US and EU but even between

Don't worry Europe will have self-driving cars 20 years after America 😆
No I think it might be a lot sooner but they will be Chinese brands. Somehow US brands never seem interested in the huge market that is the EU. I still can not buy a Pixel phone or a Google Home here in Spain.

Fast and Furious 9 with self driving cars..Vin diesel loses his job..
google maps should show estimated prices for waymo rides to help raise awareness about cost savings
I can't wait to get my first ride in a self-driving car. Great work, Waymo.
I desperately want this for my simple freeway 40 minute commute to work in Utah. That's an hour and twenty minutes of unproductivity every single day. I'm not getting any younger. I'm very excited to have an autonomous car someday soon.
You have to count commute time into your working hours. If they pay for it or not is a different thing, but when racing job offers there is no difference.
Tesla will probably have full autonomy on the road long before Google does, especially considering that Google doesn't sell any cars.
jmocan I spent six weeks in Utah once. I didn't feel it was productive time either.
yeah and it will have more bugs then what google does.Because that is what rushing out a technology this complicated will result in
There go the days of high performance cars! I for one will never ever get into a driverless car
You need to test it on Indian Roads
LOL, here after seeing Gate Smasher's AI video XD
Wasn't there a fatality in an auto-driven car crash not too long ago?
Why did that dipship self driving car stop about 10 feet before the stop line at the beginning of the video?
I still like the idea though. A self driving car is a lot safer than a car driven by someone who is tired or pissed off.
I'm gonna tell you now that self driving cars will NOT replace manual cars ever. No way no how. Also who else is getting Matrix vibes were we take a strong step too far in technology and it will eventually turn against us
Won't a lot of cars using lidar mess up the sensors that pick up and receieve those signals?
"Sensor pollution"?
konsul2006 I'm sure the bright minds and millions of dollars behind this project have thought lots about this to the point where it's not going to be a problem
Well, these sensors could work on a channel like system like many other systems we use work.
Probably, but that doesn't stop all the YT armchair experts from butting in.
aviationboy8 What, because people with engineering backgrounds who have dealt with remote sensing can't have a say in the conversation? As if time or frequency modulation isn't something that's already a well understood concept? Not everyone on RUclips is an intellectual dullard.
Antonio Perez thanks, atleast that is an answer that makes sense and not toxic.
All I have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Would take a while for me to get used to this kinda stuff but cannot wait.
How do you tell it to stop at the next or nearest fast food resteraunt before going to final destination for a pit stop
I normally don't watch 360° videos but this was a very pleasing to watch visual representation
This might be a good and all but what if a another car is swerving all over the road
It is cool how much waymo is supporting Chandler because I live in Chandler and it is cool to see 5 self driving cars at once
Is it easy to find one and take a drive in it? I live on the other side of Phoenix but was hoping I could head over there and go for a test ride.
Can they read, understand & obey every road sign & what happens if the vehicles come to an intersection etc where the traffic lights are not working & a human pointsman is on duty directing traffic in certain directions?
The question is when are we going to see the first consumer car build with hardware and software from waymo?
Nice this will also help with things like people who are blind and reduce alot of drunk driving accidents
it has so many upsides that even if it did result in some mistakes or accidents its still easily worth it. My biggest worry though is all the people that drive for a living. I mean there are tons and tons of people that drive taxi or semi for a living that would lose their jobs.

I'd like to see this for the Accident cases. What went wrong and how it was addressed.
What about emergency vehicles or if a cop tries to pull it over?
That's great and all, but how does it do in extreme weather conditions?
Jake Price what do you think? If it can drive in sunshine it will drive just same in rain snow ice etc;)
Lol not going to lie for the first like 30 seconds of this video I was thinking it was poorly made because I could only see a shot of the ground. Thank you video for new interactive RUclips experience and making me feel like an idiot 😂
They actually previewed this tech a number of years back and called it snoopavision.
Is waymo Self Drive sistem still working on wild traffic like Jakarta? We wait the video.

Absolutely incredible
2:57 What is the steering wheel doing?
NASA taught me never to trust science made with the imperial system of measurements... Lol.
did you notice you can turn the video see your bck side
can we see some demo at night time, how it works
LiDAR doesn't care whether day time or night time. It projects light beams itself.
@@JD-kf2ki Lidar have some issues in weather also...like extremely fogy and snowy
the 2020s is going to be huge for self driving cars.
Congrats Your Video is Featured on TechGenez.com
How they deal with stop light power outages?
Would there be a steering wheel in the future, if so what happens if someone messes with the wheel?
Do they stop for geese because we have a ton of Canadian geese round here.
U guys should use the public cameras to make sure it safe like what’s going on
Soooooo are these cars marked so the po po don't attempt to pull over a WAYMO?
It doesn't have intuition though, or the ability to read other driver's body language or the subtle queues coming from the way they're driving which give insight into what they're trying to do or might do next.
Essential technology those who drive drinking their coffee and applying their eyeliner at the same time.
When are you going to come to Texas?
Bring that Van to my house I need it to drive me from D.C to Cali while I eat and after take a nap thank you.
Next up use Hololens in cars and NS5 from I Robot!
Really cool that they were able to make this video
01:29 Cool. How far is "three football fields" in... you know, like... actual distance?
Steven Pam that is a measurement obviously ;)
A footbal field is 100 yards. X 3 = 300 yards = 900 feet.
End zone goal areas not included probably
It still amazes me how many measurements are explained in "Football Fields".
so, how far is 900 feet in... you know, like... actual units of measurement?
About three football fields.
Can't wait for them to bring it to Europe!
Well presented!
I think This channel need more attention,that was amazing ❤️
That was pretty well done. Pretty immersive with Google Cardboard
I'm wondering if it would work where i live. this road by my house is blocked by a tree so you cant see if other cars are coming or not. unless you pull like half way into the road. also you can get stuck on this one hill by my house if you stop at the top of it when it snows.
TheMinecraftGuy105 it can do that with maximizing the sensors it will see more than you can and react faster to dangers accordingly
i want one
when does it release in all strates?
Cnt wait to start working at waymo.
"I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think any conscious entity could ever hope to do."
Let's see how it performs in a construction zone where lines are all over the places, or at a snow covered road.
Mrs Stella is legit and her method works like a magic I keep earning every single week with her new strategy

I see these things all night long, here in the Mesa - Chandler - Tempe area.
Impressive work !! It's outstanding ! Go go Waymo !
Lidar? The one in new iPhone and iPadpro?
How come we don't have any in San Jose ca
I allways see these cars in Arizona
Ha they shot this in Chandler Az. I see these cars everywhere in AZ!
Jay walkers watch out!
Is this available in truck or suv form so I can tell my suv to drive me here and have a RV hooked up?
Why keep two wasted seats up front? I’m hoping once this rolls out it won’t have a driver’s seat or wheel.
I wonder where they put the camera for this video?
Waymo so cool
Amazing!
Now we can immerse ourselves in even more technology while our self driving car does the work...
I am waiting to see can waymo get on freeways in on the road trips
what happens when there's two waymo's next to each other? Do their lidars affect one aonther?
Interference is very rare because of the specific direction, timing, etc. Though theoretically possible with lots right next to each other, but there are safeguards and usually the interference is only blips of noise, not continuous pictures of the wrong data. Long term though lidar will probably be replaced by cameras as computer vision gets better.
they will call a third to do justice ;D
Why wouldn't it?
This is cool, flipping well done!
best idea ever,Iam at the waiting list.
Come to Madison Wisconsin
All car drivers should get one, from dear motorcyclist
You know, in a truly driverless world, there will be no need for traffic lights, road signs.. or even "roads". Intelligent vehicles will just travel ANYWHERE. Cars themselves won't need dashboards, headlights, windshield wipers etc.
Suppose a pedestrian is crossing a road towards a traffic island in the middle (not sure you have these in the US?) As a human driver, I need to know whether the pedestrian has seen me. If he hasn't, I need to slam on the brakes, as he may continue to cross the road (into the path of my car).
Presumably the AI will have to have the same ability?
The car see's a total distance of two football fields away in ALL directions. The AI predicts the likely hood of all outcomes each second. It would see the pedestrian before they even moved to the Island in the first place. It would then monitor the pedestrian and react accordingly based on what they do. The human driver has a very limited field of view when it comes to driving. If the driver looks in their rear view mirror, they are not monitoring the road in front of them. With self-driving cars, they see in all directions at all times while predicting and adapting to what every single moving object is doing around them. They are far more attentive and will be a thousand times safer than any human could ever be behind a wheel. Just gotta get out all the kinks before they go national. :)
Behaving like that (without any awareness of where the human is looking) would create WAY too many false positives (at least in London).
+Connor Rydlund Correct. The AI through its sensors can track multiple objects in real time that a human would struggle to comprehend.
Dude, you are suposed to stop if pedestrian is crossing the road, with or without him/her noticing you.
Joonas Vali That's not how it works in British cities where pedestrian islands are common. You have to be aware of whether the pedestrian is going to stop at the island, or obliviously walk into your path.
Pretty rad ! 👍🏽
I'm wondering how the car knew that the light was green or red. Is there a device inside it?
It can process visual cues from regular cameras.
Thank you so much. This will surely also help those who are disabled physically and mentally.
I want to see this is the streets of Vietnam
This is just amazing
