I for one am incredibly excited for Waymo to further advance their research and further reach those like myself who cannot drive due to medical reasons.
The Kusano slide showing "fewer injury" / "fewer police" leaves out a critical bit of context. For example is the SF "fewer injury crashes" 1008 vs 1000 injuries or 18 vs 10 injuries? It would be far more meaningful to say something like human drivers had 38 injuries but Waymo had only 30.
Software is not perfect, that is a fact, so they need to test in real situations, is the cost to evolve in technology. Any contribution to the advancement of technologies is valuable. We can only learn from experimentation, trials and errors. Great job. Nice Tech Waymo.
How can you make this statistic by comparing the miles driven with the number of accidents or deaths? Where are the miles taken from? Is there a database of how many miles each car involved in accidents drives? Since I would also like to do this statistic in Italy, but the data of miles driven by drivers correlated with the number of accidents does not exist. Can you help me with this? I would be very grateful.
Can you open to all south california cities, also the rest of US? Also next step is to add a toilet in your cars, and next step is to provide flying versi9n of waymo in high speed. US really needs other option than high speed rail.
When is Waymo going to build a Self Driving individual CAPSULE ??? They make 14 miles/KWh whilst regular cars make only 5 miles/KWh Ex.: • Lingyun: th-cam.com/video/dnwS56l3rDk/w-d-xo.html • Litmotors C1: th-cam.com/video/23D2MiQziAE/w-d-xo.html (took 11 year break n has now returned: th-cam.com/video/ozPNNu-JWDs/w-d-xo.html)
This is ridiculous and such a horrible idea. But to each is their own. Would you trust a robot to wipe your ass correctly ? No??. Then why trust a driverless car....specially when my dog and I almost got hit by one when he got loose and darted in the street
These cars need to be removed from public city streets and tested on closed tracks. I have had way too many incidents with Waymo cars breaking road laws and causing traffic jams in downtown Phoenix.
Is anyone collecting/posting statistics on the safety of Waymo's vs Tesla's accident and fatality rates? Versus human's? Waymo cars never text and drive. Most humans have and many do. I have and never should again. If you're right the data would probably agree with you.
@@appleqor Tesla is the number one vehicle for crashes and most Tesla drivers that I spoke to use ADS as often as possible. Tesla has refused to issued their ADS crash data. Texting and driving is similar to a computer not knowing how to judge an object causing similar crashes but without a human at all to correct the error. The data is out there, this technology is dangerous but SiFi fanboys are eating it up and causing deaths by computer instead of human mistakes.
Waymos do indeed make inhuman mistakes. But unless AI literally surpasses human intelligence in all ways, this will always be the case when autonomous driving is introduced. If we want technology to save lives, we need to be willing to go through this phase. I'm not saying that we should adopt an "anything goes" tolerance. But if the technology is operating safely, we should allow it to operate, even if it increases inconvenience in the short term. The alternative is to _never_ achieve life-saving autonomy, because not testing in the real world means never discovering the problems. The great advantage of this technology is that as it improves, the improvements are permanent and reach every car at once. It's good to put pressure on Waymo to make them improve. But we should not require near perfection as the standard for allowing them that opportunity to improve. We have a lot to gain from the success of autonomous vehicles. There is no company on the planet with unlimited funds to spend on developing autonomous vehicles in a non-commercial fashion. I'm impressed that Google/Waymo operated in the pure development stage for 10 years before even beginning to put commercial services in place. None of the other players come anywhere close to that commitment to safety, and it frankly shows. At some point, we need to be willing to work with companies that show good faith effort.
@@communityband1if you think any of Googles intentions is for good faith you are strictly mistaken. This is a capitalistic play that is all. The US military uses test grounds for all of its technology and research purposes and never in public areas. Simulations work just the same for compiling data while working out the extreme issues with LADAR failure. A majority of these cars throw constant errors and can’t operate in rain or fog yet they are on the public roads. As I said above fanboys will eat up the technology. But yet if I want to build a car and operate it manually I will be put through rigorous DOT regulations, a vehicle with known technology failure and human casualties by computer, totally okay!
@@cyb0r6633k I'm also not sure why you're comparing this to the US military. The military is not designing a system to operate in a similar public manner. Why would we expect their testing requirements to be similar? To be sure, Waymo uses simulation extensively. That's where most of their development takes place. But at some point, there must be a transition, and this will reveal additional challenges. These discoveries often then end up back in simulation for further development.

Love their focus on safety and their transparency. I have been using the Waymo service in SF and always felt safe.

So many people don't report car crashes for fear of insurance premiums costs

Thanks for flagging this issue to us. Could you send us a private message so our team can look into this further?
@jjr-nd9kd You seems change resistant????
This “technology” is dumb
Why I is this technology dumb in your opinion???
Historically people always called new technologies dumb because they didn't understand them.
