I took a ride in Waymo’s fully driverless car 

It’s the future!!! once all cars are autonomous, transportation will be so much more efficient

Not in my lifetime, and I'm 25

I would do it in a heartbeat! I so welcome this technology. I can't wait until it's the norm.

Honestly I would just stick to Autonomous Shuttle Buses like the Muji GACHA for now

@@error404blah For sure in your lifetime. They already exist, its not going to take 60 years before these are mainstream

Maybe there's an invisible person

it's just so it doesn't do that beeping thing

Varun Nahar Willy Du - 2019

it just to make passanger feel that "it's a responsible driver"

The car would hate to get any demerit points for not wearing a belt.

Haha 😂

Yash Kansal lmaooooooo.

Sahi hai

Would it get through a single day, though?

Rational_Thinker_86 lol what are you? 10?

infernovoid make sure you put on your tin foil hat before writing comments

In 5 years

Isn’t that what we said 30 years ago

Dam that grammar big brain

agreed lol

9Br3ak3r it's amazing. But do know all the roads they drive on, are already pre-scanned by Google and extremely carefully mapped. These cars can't drive on any road, just the specific ones they are trained for

Yeah, pretty lame-o...

@@samuvisser yeah. And also if some thing changes due to construction or something like that, the system needs to be updated. Waymo makes cool looking stuff but not something scalable to the whole world. If self driving cars are the future, it must be level 5 and nothing less. It's a very difficult problem to solve so I still appreciate what Waymo has done to advance this field.

Samuël Visser This is why Tesla’s autopilot is so much more successful. You put it on a road and it works, even if it doesn’t work as well as Waymo does.

@@akzebraminer And when Tesla's autopilot fails, it is the owner/driver who is responsible. When Waymo fails, liability falls on them. Tesla can boast all they want about their auto pilot, but it still cannot drive you around without having a person behind the wheel.

Your comment is extremely underrated !

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal" "Sorry, this is Siri, I did not understand what you just said"

Open the trunk and you will find a guy with joystick 😂

They might DieYoung lol

@@labacnotan i felt like they paid him to say that

It consistently respects the lives of city doves and yields to pedestrians so we can indeed better trust these robots.

Tube Specific yes, big tech knows best. Trust big tech, next will be the brain chip... we can trust the brain chip... lol

@@Jimmystockphoto I don't want to take the mark of the beast system of greed. I know it's all profit oriented...

On a serious note, the seat belt needs to be buckled because otherwise the car will turn on the no seat belt blinker

Aayushman Bhatia they can deactivate that, I don’t know why they didn’t

@@willinton06 probably because its far easier to just click in the seat belt :)

willinton06 It’s a Chrysler. One wrong mod and the things broken LMAO

@@aayushmanbhatia6561 Also many driver assistance features behave differently, like auto hold, parking brake won't self apply, and some cars will limit top speed.

editing problem it's footage not editing

@@Molemanski thanks for caring that much that you came back to see other replies

Ruan Moleman 😂😂😂😂

Agree Terrible host and vid

My exact thoughts. Incredibly stupid camera work.

Shiba inu coin will make millionaires in 2022, buy it before it skyrockets

Agree, but now imagine how many obstacles it will also stop for instead of going around like roadkill and debris. The failsafe solution for autonomous vehicles seems to be stop for everything, which isn’t always the best response.

What if someone was behind it?

@@lgaddy The cars are programmed to see the person, but not the animal. So it's not that I care less about people than animals. The point of my comment was that the car needs to be programmed to recognize both.

@@anneahlert2997 I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me or not, but I was just wondering if the car would be able to tell of there was a vehicle behind it.. would it cause a pileup? Don't get me wrong I'm glad it stopped for the pigeon, but wondering if it would know what to do in that type of situation..

I just made a comment on how they're overtaking the phoenix area lol

masterimbecile I bet it wasn’t raining, snowing, or foggy the day you spotted a few of these. In other words the car is totally useless at this point 🙄

agree, what value does seeing him talk add to this video, would much rather a dual view, with a small inside camera view if they must and mostly outward view of the vehicle. Also how long was the trip?

@@TonyTylerDraws acceleration, lane change, and overall smoothness is similar to a human? If so, that's really impressive.

canngo123 100% agree

@@canngo123 Yes, you couldn't tell a difference if you didn't know it was a self driving car. They drive like a very cautious defensive driver.

I agree. We didnt see the car changing lanes. He just said it did that. Filming was bad.

Are passengers paying for the longer route? It sounds like these self-driving taxis could be programmed to be just a crooked as some taxi drivers.

Road bumps i guess?

It probably got a little confused, since it wanted to make the turn, but a car was approaching so it perhaps tried to do both things at once.

Yielding on solid green light

It's being "safe" the logic it believe it needs to avoid something. But good eye.

It may have experienced higher ping

If drivers work like that i wont be mad at this

There are infinite situations that’s the thing I don’t believe a machine will ever drive aswell as a human

@@drivingandvloggingforalivi929 "a machine will ever drive " No need. There will be remote operators standing by to take over if the car is unable to continue. The self driving software can predict seconds in advance if help needed, so maybe the passengers will not even notice.

@@bokoloaranyfa3824 what’s the point I would prefer a driver

@@drivingandvloggingforalivi929 it's not what you prefer, it's what the company that runs the service prefers. I can already see it. In 2040 people are gonna say things like "Oh, I only take taxis with real people" Like the Organic craze that started in 2014.

@@starmorpheus you’re dreaming this is a fad that’s already losing steam in 2040 people will laugh at the idea of robotaxis taking over it also is about what I prefer as I am the customer and believe most people would agree I’m bound to find it he people that wouldn’t on a video like this aren’t I good day

why is waymos cars having a steering wheel.

Maybe yes , maybe no... just think about it for a moment : police officer asking Witnesses what did the driver of the car look like ...

@@gardensofthegods 🤣🤣

@@gardensofthegods 😂😂😂😂

@@gardensofthegodslol 😂😂

Yes insurance will be so expensive for human driver cars. Get them idiots texting while driving off of the road.

So therefore insurance should be dirt cheap

The thing is that it will probably be 50-100 years after self driving cars launch for almost every driver in America to have a driverless car. Think about all the 20th century cars we see on the road today.

Some of us humans actually like driving and are good at it.

No its not. People need jobs

@@circusboy90210 Bro, take a second for me and look back at the history of those fighting to keep the types of jobs that were sufficiently replaced by technology. What you'll find is a 0% success rate. Trying to stand in the way of automation is a losing battle every time. The move isn't to sit there and stubbornly refuse to adapt. It's to look at which way the wind is blowing and adjust. Otherwise you'll find yourself in the same spot that elevator attendants, switchboard operators, and travel agents did.

@@circusboy90210 Overall, automation creates more jobs than it ends. The printing press replaced scribes, but created a monstrous media industry. The problem is job re-training, not technology. Also, taxi driver is one of the worst jobs on earth.

Very scary.

Do you have some sort of disability that does not allow you to drive?

Same I legally can’t

Pay a taxi driver

@@drivingandvloggingforalivi929 That's not an option for me, and lacks autonomy.

Ben Dunaway why does autonomy have to be present ?

I'm pretty sure In 2050 they'll be making fun of our technology

@@themandoloreean2314 Yep. Just like tech in 1989 is super outdated today. in 2050, I can't even imagine what's gonna be around

Peter I. Technology hasn't progressed that much in recent years. I think people advanced so much that they kind of got "stuck".

@@starchannel123 What are you talking about? We didn't even have smart phones 13 years ago. Now we're putting on VR goggles playing 4k games. Technology progresses every year, you just have to notice it.

Yeah when they driving at 400mph because all cars are self driving

A lots of people who drive for a living will also be out of business ...Driverless cars looks cool but also boring at the same time ...Most people love the feeling of getting into a car and driving it ..

@@blast4me754 it may seem boring now, but soon we will be able to use our phones and watch movies on our way to work, which is by far more fun than driving

@@baitreview We already do that all day as it is lol ..I love my internet but I don't love it that much where I need to use it while I'm driving ..

@@blast4me754 You do you bro. But 2 hours of the day for me is just spent in transit. I could do half the work and catch up with a tv series on the way

@@blast4me754 do people actually like driving wtf what is there to like

They do, in waymo cities than you know.

@@thedukeofbellington8898 LOL this comment needs to be appreciated more. Haha good one.

Yes, it would be fun if they had some in my city so I could prank them. Can’t wait to see what the kids do to mess with them. 😂 And just wait until the muggers interfere with them to rob passengers stuck in them. Oh, that’s going to be interesting.

I've had to make plenty of routing corrections due to wrong turns I've made. So, I don't have a problem with that, besides, I wouldn't want to be dropped off at to wrong destination.

@@daveid7247 I think thomas' comment was more about the wiggling steering wheel than the fact that the car did the routing corrections in the first place😄

I think that was caused by bumps on the road, not by the actuators of the steering wheel.

Real word traffic is dynamic, meaning always changing. If you use Google Maps on a daily basis, in a metro area, it will always find the best route, and it will take you on that route. Same thing with self-driving vehicles.

Sean or perhaps it's algorithm determines that's the safest way, albeit unintuitive

At least 15 years before mass adoption

@@Btt8 personally owning a car is not the future. Instead the majority of people will simply hire taxis. Waymo can do this method in 10 years easy.

1000 years haven’t even discovered mylon technology

Yeah, and just imagine how much it’s going to cost for a taxi ride at least twice a day for back and forth to work. Then add in all your other trips. And unlike bus fares, taxi rides won’t be government subsidized, which reduces the cost of bus fare seven-fold.

@@LuckyCharms777 Seriously, are you basing you comment about the future on todays world? In a world with cars rushing through intersections without lights in 60 mph, one lane roads, and decentralized swarm behaviors.... why would there even be busses? What function wold a buss provide that wouldn't inhibit everything else? Why would people ever agree to go out of their way to pick up others, or sit and waste time to let others off where you yourself is not exiting? There would ofcourse be larger self driving vehicles that would take people between two large commuting points like a train station and a university or some recreational facility, but there will never again something like a "buss" that takes people around a city and make slight detures to stop and pick up more people. And about the cost, this would ofcourse be the cheapest transportation available. Driverless vehicles that never stop or never rest except to charge, with a uniform simplified design to keep cost and repairs down, with a tiny battery but fast charge rate, that takes you where you need to go 5-10 times faster than today will cost litterally next to nothing and that is what you will pay aswell. Also, since there are no busses these vehicles would be subsidised insteast, which actually makes them free to use by the public. AND they still make the city save money due to fewer accidents, less roads and roads maintenance, more space in the city when additional lanes, parking zones, parking houses, parking next to the road can all be removed in favor for other things.

@@johanlarsson9805 Lol, you’re ridiculous. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

@@LuckyCharms777 Lets come back here in 25 years and see which of us is correct

Yet.

It would seem the human intervention part isn't as necessary anymore considering they're letting them run without safety drivers.

@@laserlemons1577 but with people remote monitoring and taking over when the car doesn't know what to do, so not totally autonomous yet

Have you seen people on icy roads?

Waymo has been operational everyday in Chandler for a few years now. Are you making the assumption that this was an isolated trip just for this video?

Andrew Yang is repeating what was said during the industrial revolution

@infernovoid change is often unpredictable. That's why I like the future. You never know what you might get. Hopefully good things though.

Absolutely! Situations like these are very difficult for computers. Also on snowy roads where you cannot see the adge of the pavement. A human could look at the texture of the snow to determine the surface under it.

@@jvinsnes the great thing about self driving cars is that they can see everything humans can, and then some! with training from cameras on non-autonomous cars and virtual simulations, combined with the possibility of adding sensors or cameras that can do stuff like see light that passes through snow to get additional information! there are no inherent limitations of a computers perception that humans can do, but there are human limitations that AIs can surpass (of course they need more information and training on snow and stuff, but once they get it to the point where they can drive them safely, they'll get information and training exponentially faster as all the cars share training for recognizing situations like snowy roads)

They drive like an overly-cautious person, so yeah it's probably safer than most people.

The 90’s called, they want your overused prank call phrase back

It can 'every know', yes or course. Your brain is just a glorified computer, making decisions based on data it gets. What your saying is the reason driverless cars are still a ways out, but when talking on a infinite timescale anything is possible :)

Why will this be an issue?

@@davis907 he is trying to say tha police departments or goverments will "lose" money from all those tickets given to less people. Who think that way? only that police force handling out tickets instead persecuting real crime because its easier and they are scared of doing a real job.

Um yeh and software can’t malfunction?? What happened to Boeing

Oh I disagree completely. Uber and Waymo are both working to get rid of the driver. Its their biggest cost. Trucking companies want driverless trucks NOW. I think in 10 years the long haul trucking will be more driverless than not. Trucks that do not have to follow federal rules about being on the road constantly are a HUGE win for the industry. Remember the drivers can only drive 10 hours a day. No driver means more time moving and less time waiting which saves money. Uber and Waymo will have the it done in less than 10 years on their side as well.

Andrew Yang

We've been talking about that for decades now. If any driver hasn't prepared for that time and is not retiring in next 10 years he'll have only himself to blame.

Why would I want to pay a person if machine does it for a fraction of a cost? This is a normal course of events.

There's not much variety in the area these run. It's all a big grid with the occasional neighborhood or parking lot to navigate.
