About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Córas Tiomána Uathrialaigh
Is córas tiomána uathrialach le haghaidh feithiclí é an Waymo Driver den Chúigiú Glúin. Is féidir an córas a chur i bhfeidhm ar ardáin iomadúla feithiclí, ó ghluaisteáin go trucailí, agus tacaíonn sé le seirbhísí síobshiúil, trucáil, seachadadh áitiúil agus úinéireacht ghluaisteáin phearsanta. Comhcheanglaítear trí theicneolaíocht braite sa tsraith crua-earraí: lidar, ceamaraí agus radar. Iompraíonn LEDanna gluaiste ar an lidar 360 céim siombail aitheantais phearsanta, ionas gur féidir le paisinéirí a bhfeithicil a aithint. Cuirtear na braiteoirí in áiteanna a fhágann cuma gan uaim orthu ar an bhfeithicil. Tá sé mar aidhm ag an dearadh iompar a dhéanamh níos sábháilte agus níos éasca do dhaoine agus d'earraí.

*Please note these are dimensions for the I-PACE platform as an example. Measurements will vary depending on which vehicle platform the Waymo Driver is being applied to. - Tags
- Mobility, self-driving, safety, AI, cars, trucks, vehicles, autonomous vehicles, ride-hailing, delivery
- Production Technology
- Materials: A diverse selection of materials like plastic, composites, glass, and metal
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge is ensuring the design of the high-tech Waymo Driver remains human-centered. Our designers are tasked with packaging advanced technologies into a design that optimizes performance but also feels approachable to users. For example, we carefully curate the placement of our sensors and other technology on our cars and trucks to maximize safety and performance, while still making them look seamless on the vehicle.
- Inspiration
- Traffic crashes cause 1.35 million deaths each year, and 94% of traffic crashes in the U.S. are caused by human error. While humans are susceptible to dangerous variables, the Waymo Driver doesn't get tired or angry, distracted, or drunk. The Waymo Driver’s latest hardware suite includes new, leading technologies that can be applied to everything from passenger vehicles to long-haul trucks, taking tangible steps to make our roads dramatically safer.
- Project Duration
- Mountain View, CA
- Operation Flow
- The Waymo Driver’s latest hardware suite includes three sensing technologies—lidar, cameras, and radar. Our team designs these technologies to make them feel approachable to users, while still prioritizing safety and performance. For example, we added moving LEDs to our 360 lidar, so that it can include both Waymo branding and a personal identification symbol that acts as a mechanism for customers to identify which vehicle is theirs.
