I get it. I understand this. I’ve been ready for this to happen. But it is WILD AF to see it in action like this.
It happened years ago. They have been operating in Phoenix since 2022.
As someone who’s visually impaired and can’t drive, this makes me so excited! Hopefully within a decade I’ll be able to get a completely self driving car that’s commercially available
Same!
As you watch a video and type on TH-cam…
@@jayinhd4296you know there’s technology to make it possible for people who can’t hear or see to use the internet etc right?
@@jayinhd4296 you can use voice to type and listen to the video - plus impaired doesn't make you blind, does make you handicapped but not totally blind. No need for bashing just enjoy the moment.
The same tech that enables the car to see will make you see again one day as well, they are already doing that Elon Musk's NeuraLink
This was waymo than I thought it would be 😏
😏
Lol 😏
This comment will get sooo picked up lol
😏
The car drive better than a lot of idiot I see in the street.
You know you in LA when you exit the car at 6:01 and it instantly go from soft music to sirens 😭 even the car was like "yea get out I gotta get outta here, tip me on the app"
Lmao 😂
He’s in Westwood right down the street from UCLA medical center and the VA hospital. Really nice and expensive area. That was an ambulance. Not cops.
It sounded like Los Santos
Depends on what part of LA. I live in LA and don't hear sirens all that often.
@@flybriur I was just joking. I live in Miami, I honestly don't know the geographics of Los Angeles or any part of California besides what I seen in movies.... Such as, boys in the hood, menace to society, South Central, etc 😂
I have experienced Waymo in Phoenix and agree the ride was very smooth. Also the cost was very similar to lyft and uber, cheaper even since you don't need to tip.
Well I will safely use then when they are able to navigate the most dangerous roads in the world safely
Waymo is San Francisco is the same. So smooth. I'd always pick Waymo if it's available in the area I'm traveling to
Should be much cheaper since they don't pay a human driver and get to keep all precedings. Not impressed.
@@Leb666
Casual broke person not taking into account all the tech involved and maintenance for that tech.
Brokey
@@Leb666 BROKE PEOPLE ARE SO GROSS EWW
I drive these roads all the time. Not the worst roads to drive, but enough regular traffic that it's not super simple and completely relaxed driving either. Pretty impressive for a driverless vehicle.
I never thought I'd be around to see the beginning of Delamain😂
HAHAHA! Yes... an epic gamer refrence for sure man!
😭😭😭 literally bro
I THOUGH THE SAME LMAO
BEEP BEEP MOTHER*&!
Now we wait for waymo to lose half it's cars and ask us to find it for them
The light changed to amber…..interesting…we call it yellow in my neck of the woods
Looks more orange to me
Lexus have had amber lights forever, they are better in fog conditions
He’s from Canada. Some people call it amber over there. Most say yellow though.
He must have never seen a computer screen in the early 80's. That's "Amber".
Amber is the color of poop on the bedsheet.
I’ve ridden in a Waymo twice, in Phoenix. Both rides were amazing and just like you said in the video, very smooth it handled situations very well. No issues at all and like you experienced, I became very comfortable within minutes of the ride starting. Before my first Waymo ride, I was nervous and excited at the same time but after experiencing Waymo, all the nervous feelings went away. I will definitely use Waymo it again, hopefully many times.
How was the price compared to like a taxi or an uber?
@@letteralex comparable weekend pricing. The second ride was during a week day and was $5.
working on cars for half of my life, I cant wait to not drive anymore
How do you feel about Tesla n such?
😂
amazing... I cant wait to see how this will evolve within the next 5 years...
Absolutely! Me too. The less human interaction we have, the more progressive we become as a society. Love it!
we're about to be the last generation to drive gas cars and probably the next would be the last ever to see cars that require a driver
@@gankster9007 good point
In the next five years will be like "its a bird its a plane no its a flying car 🙃
I have dreames of this and i’m so happy it’s happening right now. Mabe in the future we don’t have to own a car. This could solve many problems in cities. Future is now.
what a bot you are, u would be happy if the government spoon feeding you chicken wouldnt you.
Yet we still live in a country where you have to pay for your own healthcare...😢😢😢 The future will really come when we get our priorities in order
Thanks for the video, i look forward to it coming to NYC.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'M READYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Great video tho. It was great to see the vehicle in action!
This is wild!!! 🎉❤ Thanks for bringing us along.
Waymo was my main rideshare in San Francisco for a few days and I’m ready to never have another awkward Uber conversation again
I actually like talking to uber/cab drivers... One of my family friends is a cab driver, known him for over 10 years.
I'm pretty sure all your uber drivers thought the same about you lol
@@super1988guyGOT HIM LOL!
I have to side with Austin on this.
Sad
I was lucky to be able to experience this in San Francisco last year. Core memory for sure.
Great video Lew, with a genuine use and reaction. It's crazy that this is happening.
Uber's gonna be pissed
Uber has invested billions into self driving cars. They would rather have driverless fleets than have to pay humans filthy humans
i have a feeling Uber and Lyft will either be acquired by Waymo.. or create some kind of deal to license cars for them to use to help defray the cost of scaling to more cities?? the regular taxi car owners that have paid 100s of thousands of dollars for their medalions .. thinking they would never lose value.. and may even owe money in financing the purchase of those medalions or several of them will probably find the value in those medalions become alot less valuable.
Millions (yes, millions) of drivers who depend on Uber and Lyft to make a living are gonna be pissed.
@@syberpunk I think the message is being passed to Uber and Lyft drivers that driving a car as a taxi like driver is more of a temporary situation. And that they should be looking for other kinds of jobs for longer job prospects. I understand Waymo is hiring. And as the industry grows and more robo taxis are on the road.. there will be more support roles for humans through Waymo and perhaps other companies that provide robo taxis?
Who do you think was one of the first to start the driverless taxi? Uber and Lyft
I hate driving, can't wait for this.
Love Waymo. It's my go to when bar hopping with friends in AZ
I’ve ridden in Wayne’s in Phoenix a lot of times and every time the drive is always very smooth and without any issue. I prefer them over normal ubers. The only thing is they take a more conservative route like side roads, they also drive the speed limit and do not speed so it can take a little longer to get to your destination than a normal uber.
I always see them in odd dead end streets with the lights off, are they charging or waiting for the next passenger?
@@chrisvela4860 They’re probably waiting for a ride to be booked they’ll sit idle parked on the side of the road instead of just driving around while waiting for a ride to be booked, to conserve battery.
They are plotting to the world takeover.@@chrisvela4860
Completely random: I'd love to ask you some questions in an interview (I'm a UX designer and I'm doing a thesis project for my master's program about this very thing!)
I literally just had one of these things come through my parking lot lol. I dont know if it just dropped someone off and was then just conducting a 3 point turn, to get back to the street. But it pulled in next to my car, reversed, then departed up the street. Now im shocked to know that this damn thing was driving itself! what a time to be alive, man!
It brought back my memory of using first escalator. Within 2 days I felt that pretty normal.
Driverless cars before GTA6
Lol
😂
I know! Talk about priorities are backwards
@@sathini.tsurefirek.t5419
.
Just a mind-blowing experience, love it 😍😴💖
I hope Los Angeleans can be nicer to Waymo than San Franciscans have been recently!
the music option is great stuff👍
Haha I agree. I love Lews views on technology like this being somewhat "creepy"
@@liam4184 It was giving me some sinister vibes that’s for sure lol like something very ominous about what’s to come in the near future.
Crazy how far we have come with Tech! Thanks for the video.
Lew,
That is impressive technology.
I guess the only "flaw" is what idiots driving other vehicles might attempt.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Not even remotely accurate........driverless cars are extremely flawed currently
ive seen videos where the waymo cant deal with broken down cars in lanes, they think its just a stopped car and will wait there till a support guy calls you
@@Bunsterthat's exactly what happens......not to mention there incapable of maneuvering around road work as well
@@ronjones3977 Ye the technology is not there yet. But this car is using AI, it needs to work through these situations and see other drives deal with them to learn how to deal with them itsself... That's why the tech isnt public yet, its still learning through exposure, once the AI will have enough of a dataset we will probably get this in normal cars aswell, tho its probs gon be hella expensive at first.
@@eliteiel9747 the thing is even with more training roads are ever evolving on a day by day basis.....can't really train an ai model on a data set that is effectively forever changing
Taking waymos are som much fun in sf. Can't wait for them to expand!
Waymo walks the walk, Tesla talks the talk
We could not imagine that this could happen one day
I'm surprised the system would leave the pickup point without the passenger fastening their seatbelt. In many locations, seatbelt usage is mandatory.
That was more interesting & cool than I expected.
My guy, you forgot your seatbelts
Surprised the car didn't bong aggressively about that like most US spec cars do. They ding and bong like crazy. This one didn't give a damn.
EU cars bing and bong at you as well
Amazing Tech!!! So Speechless!!! 🖐🏻😨🖐🏻
This is what a proper self-driving vehicle should be.
lmao, perfect timing for this 😂❤
The car lengths won me over. I've always dreamt about traffic technology that could do this.
🚗🌟 Waymo has truly redefined the game with their groundbreaking technology! 🌐
First time seeing you outside ❤❤
Waymo going big on sponsoring big youtube channels.
one day they will sell the technology just for the buyer to find out that remote drivers from India were driving them around.
When this becomes a regular feature in all cars it’s going to change the world. I think people will use their cars a lot more if they can just kick back and watch TV while they get chauffeured. And people might just take a bunch of joy rides and tours around the city when they’re bored. And you could easily take a trip somewhere 1000 miles away, just get in watch some movies, take a nap, and you’re there. And I think everyone will want bigger spacious cars, so they have lots of room to move around and relax while they’re getting driven. It’s going to change everything
Waymo's autonomous cars have been operating in the West Los Angeles area for roughly a year, and despite this, their driverless presence continues to trip me out. On another note, this video has reinforced my need for a Pocket 3 camera for run and gun footage. It produces quality that is quite satisfactory for this kind of video content.
what a cool video!!! thanks for posting!!!!
This made me miss Lew Later even more. More of these meditations on tech!
Do you officially end the trip after getting out of the car? "Come back Waymo! My duffle's in the trunk"!
"I didn't run a red light, officer! My car did it!"
I want to see how the sensors would react in places where you get snow or sleet like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.
AKA San Fran Molotov cocktail.
9:10 I wonder how far ahead and how well it could anticipate a red light runner and how it reacts.
i think 100m , it was on a old veritasium vid
Now I would pay 10k for this option...Because it works! Not 10k for something to be unlocked that kinda, sorta, maybe works.
You should try the Mercedes L3 autonomous driving too.
Glad that they didn’t set the car on fire with you inside.
The future, the final form of these is when cars on the road can talk to each other. That's the end of pile-ups on the interstate.
Oh my gosh, There would be so much less Traffic.
once i see this successfully drive around south Florida then maybe I'm convinced
Not a homeless tent in sight. Amazing.
He's in Beverly Hills, the homeless there are in the park or closer to UCLA
Now they only need custom made vehicles.❤😮
No wayyyy wow, now LOU WHERE IS THE S24 VIDEO.
ive been riding these a few times a week for the last year -- it is so sick! I will say, it is AMAZING when you have the pals after a night of bar hopping and you're singing songs drunk in the Robocar home
Before you even said anything I was looking at it thinking damn that looks like a jag 😂😂
With all the LIDAR modules on the car, it looks rather Cyberpunk, which might explain some of the asymmetrical and "external additions" to some of the cars in Cyberpunk 2077. Now I know the cars in Cyberpunk 2077 don't "drive" you around except for the Delamains, but they do have an Auto Recall function to get to you no matter what street or road you are on. It's safe to assume they can safely pilot themselves to your location no matter the distance.
The original decaf video led me to buying a decaf from a specialty roaster in town that I’m very happy with. It has restored my belief that I can have a good decaf coffee after all so thanks for that!
That video has plenty of useful and actionable information
I still love this channel
Every time it rains, the fleet is shutdown.
The future is now. Very cool!
This just adds to how marvelous our brain is......
Wow that was impressive!!
The steerwheel is useless. They'll have to redesisn these vehicles specific for this activity. A lot of things can be tweaked in there geared towards security, ease of use for riders. This should be easy to do. Most important is navigation.
Question , where does the waymo cars go afterwards? Do they park up somewhere randomly or do they go back to a base and re charge?
If It is well applied it's an amazing technology.. totally 👏👏
Sumn tells me this is gonna be Waymo than an Uber 😅
Nicest jag I've seen bouta look up car review
The car driving it off by itself wouldve tripped me out
The future is NOW.
I take these all the time in SF and they're amazing for dates :D
Bro they are literally watching your date live at google
Can you drink in it since no one is driving ?
Curious how come no unboxing on the OnePlus 12? Hope your haven fun L.A. Much luv from San Diego!
Ohh man I really should have checked this out in SanFran!
Is this service expensive or cheap per mile?
and on 2/10 in san francisco, a crowd burnt one of their self driving car down....
I just really hope that they make driveless cars that we can buy and own instead of just using them for taxis. It would really help us all who don’t have our drivers license. I really want to have self driving car that I can own so I can go anywhere I want without having to pay. Hopefully they make that in the future so we all can get around more easier
He just sat ON THE SEATBELT 😂 oh my gosh I'm very scared.....
Amazing.
its crazy that you went all the way to LA just to get a ride in a car
This is cool! It's gotten so much better than the demos i watched long ago.
Super cool! I believe it’s a lot safer to travel like that.
closer to the future
Very cool. I assume the cost for the ride is similar to an Uber or taxi? A key feature would certainly be the 360 sensing and viewing. That makes it better than human, right there.
It needs to be a lot cheaper because no driver is getting paid
No , they actually need to recoup their investiment costs @@BigBadJerryRogers
@@BigBadJerryRogersall R&D it will get cheaper in the next decade
@@Tallacus the next decade? Too late!
Back in 2021 I took a Waymo with my little brother. The car got stuck for a moment trying to merge into a right lane. That lane is to turn into a Walmart parking lot. Well, a car was a bit further out than they should’ve been and the Waymo just sat there for a moment. I also noticed it BARELY made any left turns. It kept taking right turns to avoid all left. The only left it took was in my neighborhood.
3 Years later with all the miles on its record I'm sure it takes a lot more initiative to make those left turns during it's route like shown here.
@@kyefullwood3921 I don’t doubt it. I was just sharing my experience
@@kyefullwood3921 yea if you look at old videos waymo was driving way too passive. Only when the Jaguar came out did the driving get a little more aggressive. like I seen waymos overtake people on TH-cam if you drive under the speed limit which the old cars would never do.
Unprotected lefts with heavy traffic where you can't see the opposite lanes cars is hard enough for a human. Rather take a detour instead of risking a crash
I wonder how it would do on the snowy muddy sloppy streets in my town during a blizzard. San Fran, LA, and Phoenix are one thing, but how about Detroit, Cleveland, or Chicago?
Deserves Waymo attention
where did the car go after the ride finishes?
Wow, I was talking to techie friends and they convinced me that Driverless vehicles being mainstream was not in this lifetime. I don’t know. I think this is impressive.
Waymo 1 - Tesla 0, good job Google.
Lew you’re in CA, OF COURSE we are used to self-driving cars.
This is Waymo cooler than what Tesla does
Facts
Waymo does not drive on highways. Only operating in limited areas of 3 cities@@pennytrui1149
In what way? From what I am seeing from V12. Tesla are set to dominate in this space.
@@thewatcher5822 Well teslas just doesnt handle situations as well yet imo, it runs into trouble way more often. Plus this is google, you can imagine in like 10-15 years all cars will come with these sensors packed into them in some nicer way and this will be like an app running on your car. I don't think tesla will distribute their software but im sure as heck google would, for the right price ofc ahaha
@@eliteiel9747 From what I am seeing, Tesla are handling things far better than Waymo. Remember Waymo is operating in a very limited and structured way. Tesla FSD has no limitations as far as where it can go. Meaning it will have to deal with a far more diverse set of driving skills.
FSD is not ready, it is making some very basic errors. But its driving now is human like, and will manage most situations, even complex ones with little issue. Tesla if they can make FSD work will have the cheapest most scalable solution to automation. Something Waymo will simply not compete.
For someone that hates driving this is a dream please robot lady take me home
I work on these so it's weird to see one of my favorite youtubers make a video on it lol
now the real test would be putting these self driving cars in very high density cities like Boston or New York :O
