During my whole adult life I've only ever had technology jobs, mostly in the Phoenix area in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. I've spent my life working with very intelligent and talented people, both young and old. I trust those technologists and so I'm going to ride a Waymo very soon.

I live on the West side of Phoenix. Waymo is so close to me, yet so far. I've had two trips with it just for fun and can't wait until it expands to my area so I can use it to run my daily errands.

I've been eyeballing the one successfully navigating my neighborhood with precision and unbelievable awareness these past few days. Skateboards, bikes, scooters, cars, pedestrians, orange cones, double parking, construction...It's Koreatown LA, the mini Manhattan of the Southland, so I can go on & on about the hazards we face😂

Just took one this morning Scottsdale, AZ Kinda eerie and cool at the same time

This is such an amazing leap. The fact that it can coexist with incredibly unpredictable driving behavior of humans is amazing. Imagine if it was driving along with a massive fleet/ large percent of others that are automated. Driving would be incredibly efficient. I wonder if our grand kids/kids will see this.

How come Waymo isn't getting as much hype as Tesla when it's clearly ahead of the self-driving game?

I just saw one of these for the first time and it was blocking lanes trying to get out of a mall parking lot in Scottsdale.

That's why I can't wait to see it arrive here in seattle. That way I'd like to get a chance to be one of the first ones to ride in one of those. And the reason why I say this is very simple. I think what's going to end up happening is that some of us blind people and the disabled will have to learn how to use the technology and to use their app to basically bring the car to us and then we can just get in it and go. All we have to do is put in the address where we need to go or put in the business name and it will basically take us to that business that we need to go to. If we need to go to McDonald's to go grab something to eat all I have to do is just say take me to McDonald's and it will tell me where the nearest McDonald's is and then after that it will just take me right straight there. No need to catch a bus or two. It will do it all in one fell swoop. Who knows it could also take me to my bank to make sure I can get the rent paid. As a matter of fact I just heard about it the other day that waymo is coming to Seattle. And it won't be long now before they start testing these cars here in the area. and hopefully what they will do is make sure these cars are not only tested in Seattle but in King county washington. So I think we better wait and see what happens until they put those things together.

I can take waymo to my doctor's appointments when I need to. And since I'm blind in one eye and disabled? I can get around much easier in a self-driving car. I would on a city bus or Link light rail. But I will wait until it comes to Seattle soon! They're already tested in a little town called Bellevue Washington which is east of Seattle right now. So when I come into Bellevue I expect to have a self-driving car wait for me when I arrive to go to where I need to go in Bellevue!

I hope we get it in the Los Angeles South Bay area as well 🙌

This was a great video, but I wish they put this tech in a minibus like the Baidu Apolong II minibus or Polaris Gem (May Mobility's earlier model). That would help demonstrate a "minimally viable product" that could profitably scale while being helpful to urban problems of congestion and really moving the ball on environmental sustainability goals. They should work to improve and complement existing public transit models with automation, not enable more auto dependency and suburban sprawl. Ideally, AVs will soon allow for the redevelopment of overbuilt parking lots and garages to become affordable housing and mixed-use urban villages where daily needs can be accomplished with walking, biking, or micromobility.

It was a great video. Yes, let’s try navigating the urban landscapes of the United States in a golf cart that has a top speed of 24mph. As for your Red ignorance, let’s stick with that thought but knock it down to about 21mph. You plan to have people patiently wait their turn to reach a destination too I take it? Or are you just asking for fixed routes that remain extremely distant from where people actually work and live? You can shove your micro-village pipe dream as people are delivered to their car. You are aware the city depicted is San Francisco correct? Are you familiar with the other market Waymo is operating in? Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and Gilbert, Arizona at 21-24mph would result in death. If you are not lucky enough to be plowed into during your first 17 miles; suicidal ideations seem likely. There will be no way to reach the suburbs or city efficiently, safely or profitably (zero demand). Micromobility! Meeting daily NEEDS is all? Aren’t you just a gem?! You believe Americans motivation for transportation is ‘driven’ by NEEDS. Above average composition there sir….completely asinine reasoning. AVs will lower congestion significantly due to drivers with similar reasoning being removed. I thoroughly enjoyed my year abroad in Copenhagen, but there is absolutely nothing micro about the United States. (Also it only takes one glance at a headshot to quickly denounce the likelihood of you ever riding a bike….anywhere)

I'm not sure there's any reason the service would have to go offline just because the car isn't driving itself. Human drivers can still be made available to drive on days where conditions like this are expected. Today we already see that Waymo employs human drivers for test driving and even to be in the vehicles when weather conditions make things more uncertain. This is one of the reasons self-driving cars work better as a service right now than they do for private ownership. Services can be flexible.

Recently I overheard some co workers talking about these vehicles and I just became more confused. These co workers are not the smartest but they truly believed that these cars purpose was to spy in the areas of cities where there is known criminal activity.. Of course this crazy sounding but watching this video made me even more confused. First of all they look completely automated and I am sure they are but 100% of the times I saw them there was someone (driver?) sitting in the front seat. Even more strange I have never seen anyone sitting in the back seat. Never have I seen one driving alone. Always always always they drive around with one passenger only and that passenger I'd always in the driver seat.

Crying because Waymo doesnt exclusively use cameras for it's data input, but instead relys on more sensors and more information.

Spray painting the sensors may cause it to malfuntion

Let's think, are you a driver. And you see in front of you a lorry, loaded with big (but lightweight) styrofoam boards. Or paper sheets. Suddenly, one board (or sheet) is blown by the wind and is close to landing on your bonnet. As a human driver, you are sure that board is not made of concrete, granite, or steel. Thus, you can ignore it. But, how a robot knows that? He can hard brake / or hard turn, for no reason.. And the "obstacle" list can continue: a broken flag flying away above the street, a newspaper, a small dog running across... By the way, we know, after a ball or an air balloon rolls across the street, there are more chances for a small child to jump to catch it. We know that. The robot, knows??

Yes in those very specific scenarios a self driving car would probably do worse than your average driver. However how often do these types of situations happen? In my opinion almost never. I personally have never had this type of situation happen to me in my limited 4 years of driving experience. Now how many times do car accidents happen because of really stupid human error such as wrong way driving, texting while driving, drunk driving, people not using their blinker, people not checking their blind spots, road rage, etc. I think the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. If the point you’re making is I wouldn’t trust a computer to be my driver when i could drive safer myself than that’s valid.

@ReasonX3

A robot should know that paper sheets are not a threat it should apply hard braking for. After all, there is also tree leaf that can fly around and the car must understand that leaf is not a threat. So, in theory you can train it to identify patterns of flying objects. If an object falls straight down then most likely it can hurt the car and it must stop, but if an object flies around like a leaf then the car shouldn't be worried about it, unless it doesn't stick to one of its cameras or sensors.

Cannot imagine it would be done remotely. Too much latency and too many reliability issues. It uses 5G no doubt to download extra mapping data. But as Waymo presentation outlines, high-res mapping data is used only as a historical reference, not as absolute truth - better to have some expectation of what is beyond the horizon than no expectation at all. But live data from sensors is always the more important source of truth.
