Some of you may know Google and Cruise are two companies that have self driving cars operating on the streets of San Francisco. Almost all the traffic, accidents are happening with Cruise, and Waymo is way mo reliable
Isn't failure the stepping stone? The more mistakes one make the more successful theyre
Failures make you stronger but having lots of failures does not necessarily mean you are better, actually it means you are worse.
They have one failure because they are deployed everywhere here, you can’t under them. Waymo cars, on the other hand, are nowhere to be seen. Sometimes I see one and say “oh there’s a Waymo!”
Unless Elon’s no LiDAR bet ends up working and now Elon has a monopoly on the self driving industry
On self driving* industry * this is a brand name, which doesn’t mean the real self driving
Lol. Never gonna happen
How much revenue does Waymo bring?
This is a shit take. The bar for autonomous vehicles is not perfection - it’s just being better than human drivers. And that bar is very very low.
Who says that bar is very very low? Wherever the source is, I guess the bar for Microsoft is lower than the very very low bar
Op: You just lowered the bar with this comment. Read msft post again.
Has Waymo solved the fundamental scalability problem of ultra costly sensors/compute, high maintenance HD lidar map requirement, and geo-fenced ODD area? If not, the more cars you deploy, the more cities you operate, the more money you lose. Tesla is doing it right. Tesla Vision is cheap and scalable without needing HD map, no geo-fence. Tesla will Mars before Waymo will moon.
Tesla is level 2 automation. Don't fall for musk lies
As of now. But Tesla is scalable.
At this point its Tesla’s world. No one cares about 99.9% anymore. Just have to be better than human drivers to be allowed on streets.
Cool. If only you fixed your stupid hiring process. That would be cool.
Google may die before Waymo success. There are hundreds pf companies with self-driving. Google started to show their self driving since 2009 and they still have a very limited success
I once dated a SWE working at Waymo and she told me they had no clue what they were doing. We laughed about it but then I realized it’s quite scary 😧

Waymo has to become profitable first or at least show a path to it though. The edge cases for SDCs are rough
I'm surprised they didn't just secretly add on remote control functionality. Then outsource the driving to 3rd world sweat shop worker and claim as AI while it's building fleet data.
@redromeo28 - you really don't want my 3rd world bros the keys to drive car, they will be cruising way too fast and doing GTA irl
