Thanks for sharing. One suggestion, you should consider doing a monthly walmart/costco trip with a friend and comment on if the car got "smarter" over time.
...and pretty de rigueur for something claiming to be able to drive autonomously, or any human driver. Impressive at one level, but if we're being told that these are self drive, our level of expectation should be on par with what we'd expect from a human driver. I can't imagine any human driver passing a driving test if they didn't yield to any emergency vehicles, stop when a crossing guard so indicates, handle construction cones well, handle unclear lane markings due to construction well (like the kind that have been painted over as the lane routine are changed several times during construction, and the painted over lines look white from an angle), and all this in varied weather and road condition. The fact that this project is still in the same place years later suggests that only some very basic capabilities have been mastered, like those mentioned in this comment.
@@bearcubdaycare Don't get me wrong, I think Tesla will beat them to market due to exponential improvements due to NN/AI + the size of their real-world data set. Also Telsa does not rely on brittle HD-maps and is working on a generalized solution, not geofenced. Waymo's emergency vehicle detection looks good, though. Tesla hasn't rolled that out in beta yet.
Tesla stopped because a commercial had a stop sign in it close to the road... It will probably do nothing if you just hold a sign with the word "stop", for it to react it must be a stop sign.
@@jort93z It could be even worse than that. There's a white van following around each waymo car, as suggested in his recent video with all the issues with the cones
interesting how Waymo decided to reroute before pulling into In and Out Berger, there must be some logic behind which made it circulating around for a while
Waymo needs to stop intervening on things they don't need to like the In and Out part cause if the car does something stupid the customer can give feedback for them to improve the system. If i was the CEO etc i would of just left you to it cause i'm sure you'd give me feedback on what things need to be improved on.
This is a great vision - road traffic of the future will be networked and, above all, be electric and autonomous, I'm one hundred percent sure, because that wouldn't prevent the number of accidents there and we would most likely live healthier lives, I'm sure.
You can't prevent 100% accident free, but a proper design system with safety focus should fail predictably and reliably. I have reasonably confidence in this system. One thing still missing though it's extreme weather condition.
@@gerjaison In the far future (20-30 years), all vehicles and pedestrians will communicate with each other (automatically) so there will be no surprises (except fallen bridges, wild animals, and such). Cars stuck in snow could probably get rescued by one or a chain of cars pulling together as necessary. Any skid/sticky location will be immediately shared and routed around. Likewise wild animals: any car/road sensor/cam seeing such and similar hazard will automatically inform all relevant cars in the area, so probably 95%+ of current accidents with wild animals and rough weather conditions will be avoided in such future.
@@LauS0 I was thinking this and because if someone is drunk it would be hard to argue that you didn't move to the back. The divider makes it obvious that the car was driving.
@@JJRicks Don’t know just typed in Waymo in google and said meet the person that has taken a ton of waymo trips a student in Arizona university and showed your picture.
@@JJRicks lol... that's cruel. Was this before or after that ride where you got stuck at those construction cones and it kept getting stuck and then driving away from the support team?
Rider support will call you and ask if there's anything wrong, I don't know what happens if you stay longer cause I've never tried it and am afraid of getting banned haha
