Mr. fast-fingers in the back seat there changing the destinations all the time to make the video better. Love it

At 14:31 what actually happened is that it knows it shouldn't be stopping in the middle of intersections and registered someone across the street on the left who had a path that would intersect with the car so it stopped before getting into the intersection, that's why the brake was so hard.

People just walk in front of the Waymo knowing it’s going to yield to them. Waymo is impressive.

Something I noticed was how crazy and dangerously other human drivers were on the streets compared to the Waymo. I'm impressed.

1:57 lmfao the guy honking

I'm impressed! Heavy traffic, lots of wandering pedestrians and weird intersections. A couple of times Waymo went through on a yellow light, but it may have been better than stopping on top of a crosswalk. It stopped before the firestation to keep the space clear, which is something that a human driver might have missed. Waymo is sometimes cautious, but that's not a bad thing. A video like this is a fine display of Waymo's capabilities!

This is truly unbelievable

I'm very impressed

Amazing can't wait to try one

You may miss your flight to the airport if the car cannot find a safe spot to pick up the passenger.

Ohh man I should have tested Waymo out when I was in SanFran!

I was visiting San Francisco and was going to take a Waymo to the rail station to head home yesterday. I had it all set up. When the car pulled up I did not know I was getting into a shared trip? My initials were supposed to show on the overhead. My initials were not there so I assumed, since someone else was already in the car, that it was not my ride. Then about five minutes after it pulled over I got a message saying “Sorry we missed you!”. I was charged half the fair anyway for missing my car?? I don’t mind about paying, it was a minimal amount but they need to figure out a way to let people know it’s shared rather than a private ride.

Like the way U can see those “ Scum” on the Scooters passing on the Right on your Screen .

Really impressive! Can't wait for them to come to Austin

Looks more like remote control to me when the car pass the truck

You have an excellent setup and I look forward to more of your videos. Can you explain how you've mounted your cameras? I want to do similar when I'm in a Waymo again. I'm loving these SF and LA videos since they're so much more challenging than what my Waymo had to do in Phoenix. Seeing the Waymo stop to keep the path clear for the fire station was very impressive. There's so much confidence here, with just a few minor sub-optimal moves that I'm sure will be ironed out over time.

Thanks for your kind words! The main camera is a GoPro mounted according to JJRicks guide here: www.jjricks.com/make-a-waymo-video The screen camera is an iPad on a keyboard case. I wouldn't recommend this setup because the keyboard case is pretty flimsy. I'm switching back to an iPhone on a tripod soon. Both cameras have software stabilization disabled since I found that it introduces artifacts when the vehicle turns. In my opinion, these artifacts are worse than not having stabilization.

14:10 It seemed to me that the person crossing on the other side of the intersection was too close to the cross walk and with the yellow light soon turning red, it would have left the Waymo sticking on into the intersection after the red light, at least for a couple of seconds, until the person cleared the road. It was a decent decision to just wait for the next green light.

Good video, thank you. I wonder how Waymo would mark (on the screen) and handle a moving pedestrian wearing a white T-shirt with a traffic cone stencilled on it.

People are talking about the 14 minute mark. And i think that it break that strong because he's right on the edge of an intersection, where it cannot stop on the zebra lines. There's cars coming from the other street. So, if he continued without caring, he would stop right in the middle of it, blocking traffic. It's a think every driver should do aswell. But you know, people would just drive by and block traffic regardless.

I think it’s too cautious. Watching FSD v12 it’s a lot more assertive - it’s more human like. Stopping for a pedestrian who’s not even near the crosswalk is stupid.

Not as good (or as cool) as a train, tho

Hey I'm not saying this isn't pretty cool, but does it really make economic sense in the end? All of the tech required to make these things go is not cheap. They also have to go back to the depot every day for daily maintenance and checkup, also not cheap. Without the driver there is an increased chance of riders / pedestrians abusing them. They are fine in the nice parts of SF, but what happens when they venture out into the bad parts of town? If some drunk dude throws up in it, does it then just continue onto the next ride like nothing happened? Again, it's cool, and it works, but it doesn't come without big operating costs. I don't see how it makes sense for the long term if the economics struggle to work vs your typical Uber with driver.

Because Tesla says itself that FSD is still a Level 2. Level 3 and above are liable on the manufacturer. Tesla has some way to go. Making Tesla Vision as accurate as LiDAR is one. It currently can’t judge distances as well as LiDAR can. Tesla also doesn’t use HD mapping data. That means it must rely on sight a lot more, which adds complexity.
