Nuro / Waymo TPM Interview

Mar 16, 2021 5 Comments

Prepping for some TPM roles at some autonomous vehicle companies

Anyone care to help me answer this practice interview question?

Scenario:

The director of engineering messages you to tell you that the cars you’ve been testing are showing poor behavior when encountering school buses that have their stop sign up. This issue is now a priority to work on. How do you plan on delivering an improved product?

Follow up question: What metrics would you use to signal success?

    1. Define poor behavior, what is the threshold for behavior to be poor?
    2. Define frequency of poor behavior. Trends associated with it? Is it happening during AM/PM? Where is it happening? Define DPMO. How far car needs to brake in front of
    us? Is it happening when it is right behind the bus? Or behind other cars?
    Essentially root causing it by power of elimination, then I would look into input that goes in signaling stop. There are other things you can look, but this is what i can think in quick time.
