About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Sustav autonomne vožnje
Waymo Driver pete generacije je sustav autonomne vožnje za vozila. Sustav se može primijeniti na više platformi vozila, od automobila do kamiona, te podržava usluge prijevoza na zahtjev, kamionski prijevoz, lokalnu dostavu i osobno vlasništvo vozila. U hardverskom paketu kombinirane su tri tehnologije osjetila: lidar, kamere i radar. Pokretne LED diode na lidaru s pokrivenošću od 360 stupnjeva nose osobni identifikacijski simbol, tako da putnici mogu prepoznati svoje vozilo. Senzori su postavljeni tako da izgledaju besprijekorno uklopljeni u vozilo. Cilj dizajna je učiniti prijevoz ljudi i robe sigurnijim i jednostavnijim.

- 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.
