About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Dongosolo la Kuyendetsa Galimoto Lokha
Waymo Driver ya Mbadwo Wachisanu ndi dongosolo la kuyendetsa galimoto lokha popanda woyendetsa. Dongosololi likhoza kugwiritsidwa ntchito pa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya magalimoto, kuyambira magalimoto ang'onoang'ono mpaka magalimoto akuluakulu onyamula katundu, ndipo limathandizira ntchito monga kuitanitsa magalimoto, kunyamula katundu, kutumiza zinthu m'madera oyandikana ndi kukhala ndi galimoto yaumwini. Matekinoloje atatu ozindikira zinthu aphatikizidwa mu zida zake: lidar, makamera ndi radar. Ma LED oyenda pa lidar ya madigiri 360 amakhala ndi chizindikiro chapadera cha munthu, kotero okwera akhoza kuzindikira galimoto yawo. Zida zozindikira zaikidwa mwanjira yoti zioneke bwino komanso zosalekana pa galimotoyo. Cholinga cha kapangidwe kameneka ndi kupangitsa mayendedwe a anthu ndi katundu kukhala otetezeka komanso osavuta.
About the Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award
The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Dongosolo la Kuyendetsa Galimoto Lokha ndi mmodzi mwa opambana a Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award, kuzindikirika kolemekezeka kwambiri komwe kumaperekedwa kwa mapangidwe apadera kwenikweni, okongola ndi aulemerero. Opambana a Platinamu ndi zodabwitsa za kulenga, umboni wa malire a nzeru za anthu, ndipo amaonetsa ukatswiri wosayerekezeka ndi luntha la opanga awo. Mapangidwe amenewa akuyembekezeka kukhala ntchito zotchuka kwambiri zomwe zimatsimikizira kukongola kwa nthawi yawo, kuthandiza ubwino wa gulu ndi kukulitsa malire a luso, sayansi, kapangidwe ndi ukadaulo. The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Dongosolo la Kuyendetsa Galimoto Lokha amaonetsa mlingo wapamwamba wa ubwino ndipo mosakayikira amasandutsa dziko kukhala malo abwino kwambiri ndi makhalidwe ake opindulitsa ndi amtengo wapatali. The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Dongosolo la Kuyendetsa Galimoto Lokha ndi ntchito yopambana Mphoto ya Platinamu ya A' Design Award yomwe imadzutsa zilakolako, imalimbikitsa, imasangalatsa ndi kubweretsa chisangalalo chachikulu.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Waymo’s technology, called the Waymo Driver, has the potential to save millions of lives and improve mobility for people and things. The fifth-generation Waymo Driver can be applied to multiple vehicle platforms, from cars to trucks, and power use cases across ride-hailing, trucking, local delivery, and personal car ownership. The latest system is more powerful than ever before and designed for scale, enabling safer and easier transportation for both people and goods.

Width: 2130mm
Length: 4863mm
Height: 2041mm
*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.
