About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Siostam Dràibhidh Fèin-riaghlach
'S e siostam dràibhidh fèin-riaghlach airson charbadan a th' anns an Waymo Driver den Chòigeamh Ghinealach. Faodar an siostam a chleachdadh air iomadh àrd-ùrlar carbaid, bho chàraichean gu làraidhean, agus tha e a' toirt taic do sheirbheisean fastadh-turais, giùlan bathair, lìbhrigeadh ionadail agus seilbh phearsanta air càraichean. Tha trì teicneòlasan mothachaidh air an cur còmhla anns an t-sreath bathar-cruaidh: lidar, camarathan agus radar. Tha LEDan gluasadach air an lidar 360 ceum a' giùlan samhla aithneachaidh pearsanta, gus an urrainn do luchd-siubhail an carbad aca aithneachadh. Tha na mothachairean air an suidheachadh gus coltas rèidh a bhith orra air a' charbad. Tha an dealbhadh ag amas air còmhdhail a dhèanamh nas sàbhailte agus nas fhasa do dhaoine agus do bhathar.
About the Duais Platanaim A' Design Award
Tha The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Siostam Dràibhidh Fèin-riaghlach air Duais Platanaim A' Design Award a bhuannachadh, aithneachadh ro-urramach a bheirear do dhealbhaidhean a tha dha-rìribh sònraichte, eireachdail agus iongantach. Tha buannaichean Platanaim nam mìorbhailean cruthachaidh, nam fianais air crìochan cruthachalachd inntleachdail, agus a nochdas proifeiseantachd agus sàr-ghèinidh gun choimeas an luchd-dealbhaidh. Thathar an dùil gum bi na dealbhaidhean seo nan obraichean as ainmeile a mhìnicheas bòidhchead ùine, a chuidicheas le sunnd a' chomainn agus a bhrosnaicheas crìochan ealain, saidheans, dealbhaidh agus teicneolais.

*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.
