I lost a close friend a week ago because some woman drove through a stop sign. He left behind a wife and two young kids. This technology can't come fast enough.
From one random person on the internet to another, I send my condolences. I know exactly what that's like. And yeah, Waymo needs to become a mass-market technology soon. Too much of these death-traps we call cars. Stay strong for your friend's family, and best wishes figuring it all out.
i lost my co worker(and her husband) in march or may forget what month from a wrong way driver on the freeway and whats even more crazy the same thing happend somebody else the next week from my co workers wreck on the same freeway. so sad hope this tech can help
My condolences.
I've always hated driving and it has always been stressful for me. My parents have always pressured me to get a license even though I never leave the house, no friends, no girlfriend. Thankfully this tech will be available. Too many idiots and drunks driving on the road and don't forget the girls that snapchat and drive!
Hug Me it’s here
Holy shit, after looking this video it feels like living the future.
I miss the monthly reports back when it was the Google self-driving car... I always looked forward to those. Now it's Waymo it seems way more interested in attracting the attention of new people than going in depth on the details of the technology.
Huntracony yeah now it's a consumer focused business not a fun research project sadly...
EoRdE6 why is it sad?
Huntracony n that's a great development
Imagine a future where a driving a car yourself will be seen as a recreational activity just like horses are today. Maybe driving a car will be an activity that friends and families can get together to do on the weekends in an amusement park to reminisce about the olden days.
StalePhish Just to keep the romanticism in check there should be an accident recreation and a VR movie of a hospital emergency room dealing with the aftermath of a serious multi-car accident. Kind of like gritty war movies to remind people it was nasty and ugly, something to not wish the return of.
Waymo’s digital driver is accumulating experience at exponential pace... tipping point is coming!
The tipping point has been coming for the past 3 years and we will be hearing that it's coming for the next three years.
Great video and great presentation. Would have loved everyone to just sit down and stay there instead of walking in front of the camera every 2 seconds though.
Good presenter.
Good presentation. This is such a disruptive change, I didn't expect this until 2025. Just incredible.
Go go waymo !! Amazing job! Can't wait to see those cars in the near future !
I really hope I can ride in one before the end of the century.
Well, you'll probably be dead before the end of the century. Maybe your herse will be self driving though, would that count?
Oak101 I like your point of view on this argument :)
Is that a threat?
One big announcement: Waymo is trying to create an uber-like self driving service in the near future.
The rest you probably already know. At least, I did.
Even that was public knowledge for some time now... I agree, nothing new
Maybe you knew everything because it was in the news when the Web Summit happened?
x, I don't know when this happened, but most of the information given I already knew before Waymo was called Waymo.
Tesla is doing their own too.
What are those yellow dots on the rear-view mirror @ 7:42 used for? They're at different heights at 7:48.
i had to give up flying kites every friday with friends because of my eyesight. please come to las vegas. i miss my friends.
I almost forgot there was a crowd.
Its already online..........................
If they give Uber competition what will they charge per mile
The Self Driving car will only be fully autonomous to me when they manage to get from point A to point B on busy city streets, like the ones from Los Angeles, São Paulo or India.
This technology will also reduce police forces, reduce the number of healthcare workers, reduce the number of lawyers, insurance providers, mechanics, and so much more.
David Lopez worth it to reduce the number of dumbass drivers.
Larry Page would say, then these people have more free time to pursue what they really want.
And the number of deaths
David Lopez never thought of that but so very true. I only thought of the direct impact, to taxi drivers, Uber drivers and truckers. This will have a huge, negative, impact to the job market. In 7 to 10 years we could be looking at one of the greatest, financial, depression the human race has seen.
It's already known that AI and robot workers will cause a severe labor crisis. It's happening whether we like it or not. Whether society and government can adjust fast enough is the question. For example, whether we should have a universal basic income will become a hotter issue in the future when unemployment is higher.
It’s here :)
Speaker NEVER mentioned which country's roads are used for testing. Presumption is that it is all USA. Would love to see data on driving in Germany where there is (1) no speed limit in many areas (2) constant change of speed limits and roadwork projects / narrowings with poor marking of lane constriction (3) tons of trucks on the road (4) and that is just the autobahn. Passage through residential areas consist of weaving around parked cars, "mind reading" about oncoming cars about who goes first around a car, etc. My presumption is that L4/L5 will happen only for long haul trucks in the USA on Interstates first in any scale as economics will drive it and the problem space is bounded. L4/L5 for private use is interesting and probably can scale as long as angel investors are OK with watching money pouring through the hourglass.
I want this now! Make it happen - Peace
Imagine this autonomous technology being deployed for military uses.
When is this happening on a mass scale?
Aaron Dvorin looks like next year is very possible start of service at some parts of some US cities.
I would love for it to reach Oakland, CA by the end of next year, but it's probably too optimistic. Hovewer it's much closer than I thought anyways. I thought 2021 as the earliest date.
"Goal is to show what the vehicle is seeing and thinking, without overloading the riders with too much information." For some reason, those apparently mentally handicapped humans you just burned are allowed to drive more than Waymo. Scary.
what about when systems/computer crashes....??
He said it in the video: They have a backup computer. Same for all steering hardware, brakes and sensors.
Wonder what the hacking risks are like? Are these cars networked to share experiences to gain exponential take-off and massive hackable backdoors? Or redundantly air-gapped to make updating software a tedious manual process?
Google is pretty good about preventing hacks to their systems. What they are poor at is respecting privacy. Keep this in mind when you're in the car, they are always watching.
They talk about this fairly in-depth if their safety report goo.gl/VnvLpr pages 18 and 19.
Cyber attacks are already happening to some degree and corporate computer networks have been hacked and data stolen or ransomed. Someone with the skill to hack cars with wireless access can really reak havoc.
Super stuff.
What about off-roading
Hi, awesome demos. But Everytime I see demos of self driving cars I only see demos where traffic is very little. I never saw one single demo in bumper to bumper traffic. I also wonder whether these self driving vehicles can manuver their way through Indian roads where there are no lanes and the Driving discipline is non-existent.
India won't get driverless cars for a long time, because it doesn't have the infrastructure, and also the Transport Minister wants to ban them entirely to protect driving jobs:
www.engadget.com/2017/07/24/india-ban-driverless-cars-protect-jobs/
Sure, the transport minister wants to ban it. But that government may not stay in power forever. More importantly, I want to know if self-driving cars can cope with the chaotic conditions of India like aggressive driving, lack of lanes etc.. If a self-driving car can safely navigate streets of India like a human driver can then it might go a long way in convincing the general public that they are both safe and assertive.
"MAYBE" isn't an argument. Maybe India's government stays the same regarding driverless cars, maybe it doesn't. All we can say it was it true TODAY.
As for the competency of a driverless car in India, it's the kind of driving condition most hostile to such automation, and hence India's culture on the roads will have to change to accommodate such technology. Else the best India could hope for is robot-pulled rickshaws :)
India will have to choose what it wants more, to join the rest of the world adapting it's transportation infrastructure and human behaviours, or remain a 3rd-world country forever.
Srinivas Rishindra India cannot have driverless vehicles in the next 3 decades. AI won't be intelligent enough to navigate our harsh roads so quickly. Anyway I really don't want driverless cars on indian roads. We don't need to follow westerners shitty ideas just so that we will help some super-rich company become even more rich. Can you imagine these people don't even look at their surroundings while driving and only depend on sign boards and have so many stupid accidents? No wonder they need automated driving.
I want to see self driving cars actually drive out of the parking lot, turn onto the street, stop and start at red and green lights, get on the freeway, change lanes, get off the freeway, and drive back to the parking lot. However, I suspect these self driving cars behave like a timid student driver stopping and starting all the time and not getting up to the speed limit.
This is so cool
It's 2021 and we still don't have self driving cars
Is he implying that they've reached level 5 autonomy?
They purposely left that out, I think. I think it only qualifies as Level 4 as it is only driving under mild street conditions, not all the places where humans drive cars.
Waymo practice in secondlife?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
According to tech mature index, Ford and GM has better autonomous car technology
Thanks for sharing!
Please, please, please, come to Manchester UK ! Just shut up and take my money !
When these self driving cars come, It won't be long until normal cars are banned. In 20 years you won't be able to drive yourself
If self driving cars actually become a reality, most jobs involving human labor will be completely eliminated. In fact, I believe Amazon.Com already has automated shelf stocking and retrieval and most retail stores will have some form of robotics to move and stock products on shelves.
road trip with an autonomous car
Future of transportation. #killinguber
Hopefully the cost is under 30k if not then only the rich can buy.
The beauty of it is that you don't have to buy it, you just pay for what you use, kindof like a taxi.
The crowd seemed so lame and uninterested.
Where can I see one of these so called "self driving" cars and take a ride with the car driving out of the parking lot, turning into the street, stopping and starting at red and green lights, making right and left turns, getting on the freeway, changing lanes, getting off the freeway, and driving back to the parking lot?
Until I see one of these cars actually doing what Waymo claims they can do, I will assume this is just a bunch of hype to inflate Google/Alphabet's stock price.
I really hope I can ride in one before WW3. But without joking, driving a car as a cab and/or all the time makes it need shorter and more expensive service cyncles.
Waymo is toast, even if they can reduce the cost of the sensor package 10-fold. All Teslas with Hardware 3 will be capable of FSD.
many cities don’t have sufficient infrastration to support self driving cars. in SF and LA many roads don’t have lanes.
Seems like they've already accounting for driving without actual lanes. See ruclips.net/video/fWBVpto5Sgk/видео.html in the video
But Tesla cars are already capable to do so, they're only lack of the legislation to allow them to do so, right?
Tesla cars are not fully autonomous. They are able to drive themselves on roads 4 lanes or more only, the rest has to be done by the driver.
The software has to be released to make it happen as well as regulation clearance. Tesla cars built after October 2016 have the hardware for full autonomy.
Tesla is nowhere near dude. Also you might want to look at the amount of incidents tesla with an autopilot had. It even killed some people. Tesla can’t do self driving. And it’s also dangerous as an assist because it makes you feel safe but then it fails and crashes your car into something. Look it up.
@@vask92 i looked it up and you are fear mongering. Tesla repairs its flaws. You need to not live in the past. Tesla wants people to own there OWN fully autonomous vehicles. Waymo wants you to never own a car and to pay them to take you any where any time you need to go there. Thus taking away your freedom. AND it will NOT BE CHEAP per trip or in the long run what so ever. Teslas tec will get there or they will buy out Waymo. Tesla wants no more ICE vehicles on the road ever. INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. Waymo not so much, that is not their goal what so ever. let me guess your 1 argument is TESLAS battery uses coal and oil to charge and make threw electricity. It doesn't. They use solar to make and many of the chargers are going to ALL solar. So yea you will be driving on 100% renewable energy. Or your consolation prize is waymo and there ice cars still reliant on big oil. And as we all know 2 major things comes from the middle east. Terrorist and oil. if you think one second one has nothing to do with the other then you are a fool. Look it up :)
Technology is taking pols jobs is a dangerous world were moving into .
HOYPE
if you are a driver, you are out of a job in a year.
Stopping to let small animals live is suicide at high speeds, how would this be addressed?
If a dog were to run in front of my car I know I would do my best to avoid it. A self driving car would do the same thing, only it would see the animal earlier than I could, and would know where every other vehicle/person is in relation to the car, and could plot a path to stop/avoid the animal safely; and it could plot that course and execute it in a fraction of a second.
Just like now, you design the roads so it doesn't happen (very often).
the car would just stop, because it wasn't going to fast in the first place. If something like that happened on the highway, where something crossed out of nowhere and there wasn't enough notice, then the car will do it's best to slow down and avoid it, but it won't swerve into another lane endangering other vehicles.
Most accident happen because of driver error, such as going too fast to be able to come to a full stop (emergency stop) without hitting the vehicle in front. This won't be a problem when autonomous cars don't foolishly drive too fast in the first place without enough braking distance.
All of these plus if another driverless car sees an animal, it will alert other driverless cars around them of the situation so they can act much more intelligently if and when an animal runs out.
Aside from this situation occurring being much lower with a Waymo car than with a human driver simply because of faster reaction times and better vision, if it did, the car has priorities as to what it'd rather crash against. So it'd rather hit a wall than a person. I assume it'd rather hit a small animal than cause a dangerous situation with another car as well. Source: some monthly report from back in the day.
this cost waymo than I thought
This is ruining police forces ambulances and firefighters jobs because they drive
Also mechanics
So their only job is to drive to and from accidents/crime scenes and that's it? And mechanics will still have jobs servicing the vehicles, it's more a question of when electric vehicles will be the norm, resulting in less needed maintenance.
A long transition of stupid drivers mixing with AI car ahead of us. How does AI handle tailgaters? I gradually slow, till they pass, in the USA they shoot as they pass. How can you road rage on driverless car?
If you really want to test self driving cars then just make the driver what this video and they will be asleep in about 45 seconds.
Real self driving cars won't came before 2030 the AI they use isn't capable to handle off road trips they need lanes and road signs to read. And of course there are many driving scenarios like when you need to go fast to a hospItal or for some work. I can't wait in car that's driving slow when there's no traffic because it needs to read all the signs on the road. When I will trust a car like that? If it manages to make a long trip in a big city with a ton of traffic and other obstacles and then drive off road with heavy rain or snow day and night.
Are you purposely shifting goals? This Waymo car is not meant to go off-road. Even the vehicle it self has limited to no capacity for off-roading. It is meant for city or inter-city transport.
d1oftwins why then use them if we still need regular cars to go for a trip through uncharted local roads in a village? A LVL 5 autonomous car should be able to handle all and every situation like a human driver. Waymo is at most close to LVL 4, and far from LVL 5.
I see what you mean now. But that it is a matter of mapping rural or unasphalted roads. LVL5 autonomy doesn't mean the car is a self-aware exploration vehicle for uncharted territory, it is a means of transport for areas claimed by civilization. I don't know what your definition of LVL5 is, but it seems you expect a human level intelligent android on wheels.
d1oftwins but that's the whole point of LVL 5, if not that then it should be considered LVL 4. The lvl 5 is the top the peak of transportation technology it should be at least animal's level AI in a vehicle, a brain in a vehicle.
00 if there is not a driver in the driver's seat at all then that's what it is a LVL 5, since LVL 4 still requires a driver in the driver's seat. They say it clearly "the waymo driver never gets asleep, tired, drunk etc." and we see no human in the wheel at all...so they might not saying it directly but they imply it.
