About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Rafitra Fitondrana Mandeha ho Azy
Ny Waymo Driver Taranaka Fahadimy dia rafitra fitondrana mandeha ho azy natao ho an'ny fiara. Azo ampiharina amin'ny sehatra fiara maro io rafitra io, manomboka amin'ny fiara madinika ka hatramin'ny kamiao, ary manohana ny fangatahana fitaterana, ny fitaterana entana amin'ny kamiao, ny fanaterana entana eo an-toerana ary ny fananana fiara manokana. Teknolojia telo momba ny fandrenesana no ampiarahina ao amin'ny fitaovana: lidar, fakan-tsary ary radar. Ny jiro LED mihetsika eo amin'ny lidar 360 degre dia mitondra marika famantarana manokana, ka afaka mamantatra ny fiarany ny mpandeha. Napetraka tsara ny sensor mba hiseho ho mirindra tsara amin'ny fiara. Ny tanjon'ny famolavolana dia ny hanamora sy hampiaro kokoa ny fitaterana ho an'ny olona sy ny entana.

*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.
