About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Sisitemu yo Gutwara Ikinyabiziga Yikoresha
Waymo Driver y'igisekuru cya gatanu ni sisitemu yo gutwara ibinyabiziga yikoresha ubwayo. Iyi sisitemu ishobora gukoreshwa ku bwoko butandukanye bw'ibinyabiziga, kuva ku modoka kugeza ku makamyo, kandi ikorohereza serivisi zo gutwara abagenzi, gutwara imizigo, gutanga ibicuruzwa mu duce tw'hafi ndetse no gutunga imodoka bwite. Ikoranabuhanga ryo kumva ibidukikije rikubiyemo ibice bitatu bihujwe mu bikoresho byayo: lidar, kamera na radar. Amatara ya LED agenda ku lidar ireba impande zose (dogere 360) yerekana ikimenyetso cyihariye cyo kumenyekanisha, bityo abagenzi bashobora kumenya ikinyabiziga cyabo. Ibyuma byumva ibidukikije bishyizwe ahantu bituma bisa neza ku kinyabiziga. Iri gishushanyo rigamije gutuma gutwara abantu n'ibintu biba umutekano kandi byoroshye kurushaho.

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.
