About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Sistema de Condución Autónoma
O Waymo Driver de Quinta Xeración é un sistema de condución autónoma para vehículos. O sistema pode aplicarse a múltiples plataformas de vehículos, desde coches ata camións, e admite servizos de transporte de pasaxeiros, transporte de mercadorías, reparto local e propiedade de vehículos persoais. No conxunto de hardware combínanse tres tecnoloxías de detección: lidar, cámaras e radar. Os LED móbiles do lidar de 360 graos levan un símbolo de identificación persoal, de xeito que os pasaxeiros poden recoñecer o seu vehículo. Os sensores están colocados para integrarse harmoniosamente no vehículo. O deseño ten como obxectivo facer o transporte máis seguro e sinxelo para as persoas e as mercadorías.

- 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.
