I worked at Renesas on lidar based obstacle detection for a couple years as a senior staff engineer. I'm frankly not at all impressed with companies that choose literally the easiest driving location in the US and then make that their use case for all their demos. Level 4 autonomy in a set of locations of measure 0...
@@NoMiS2711 maybe a tesla fan, I don't know. They've concocted ludicrous talking points to convince themselves FSD is revolutionary. Saying "i'm not impressed" with the most impressive AV technology out there to date is pretty silly
The Wamo driver and a human driver would be safer than either a human driver or the waymo driver. This would prevent many of the 7 million annual car accidents in the United States. Why is Waymo not licensing the waymo driver to other car manufactures?
They party disagree with this statement as they think only fully autonomous vehicle can be safe, and they believe building an autonomous vehicle with supervision required fundamentally isn't safe based on their experiment with partially autonomous vehicle and people (people got too complacent, too dependant on technology and we're constantly distracted). But yeah they meantion that will license waymo driver to car/truck manufacturers once the system is ready Tesla however takes different approach and basically agrees with you on that statement and takes on gradual improvement roadmap. I think there's a bit of a truth to both statements. But basically for responsible driver who's always paying attention - yes it will be safer than manual driving. But for big part of drivers it will actually reduce safety.
@@artemaung5274 the question is, what will most drivers do? Waymo shows videos of employees doing everything else but watching the road. Waymo does not say what percentage of employees were not watching the road. If more drivers watch the road, more accidents will be prevented than caused by the waymo driver. While waymo is working towards level 5, waymo should add driver monitoring. If a driver is not watching the road, the Waymo driver will pull the car over to the side of the road and stop. Waymo has not caused an accident driving over 30 million miles in the last 5 years. This accident rate is 60 times safer than human drivers, who cause an accident every half million miles. If Waymo licensed the Waymo driver today, there would be fewer car accidents.
