About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Sistimi ya ho Kganna e Ikemetseng
Waymo Driver ya Moloko wa Bohlano ke sistimi ya ho kganna e ikemetseng bakeng sa dikoloi. Sistimi ena e ka sebediswa dikoloing tse fapaneng, ho tloha ho dikoloi ho isa ho diteraka, mme e tshehetsa ditshebeletso tsa ho palamisa batho, dipalangwang tsa diteraka, phano ya thepa ya lehae le ho ba le koloi ya botho. Mahlale a mararo a ho lemoha a kopantswe hammoho ho sete ya disebediswa: lidar, dikhamera le radar. Mabone a LED a tsamayang hodima lidar ya didikri tse 360 a na le letshwao la boitsebiso ba botho, e le hore bapalami ba kgone ho tseba koloi ya bona. Disensara di behilwe ka mokgwa o etsang hore di shebahale di kopane hantle le koloi. Moralo ona o ikemiseditse ho etsa hore dipalangwang di be bolokehile le bonolo bakeng sa batho le thepa.

*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.
