About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Системаи ронандагии мустақил

Waymo Driver-и насли панҷум системаи ронандагии мустақил барои воситаҳои нақлиёт мебошад. Ин система метавонад дар платформаҳои гуногуни нақлиётӣ, аз мошинҳои сабукрав то мошинҳои боркаш, истифода шавад ва хидматрасонии киро кардани нақлиёт, боркашонӣ, расонидани маҳаллӣ ва моликияти шахсии мошинро дастгирӣ мекунад. Дар маҷмӯаи сахтафзор се технологияи ҳиссиёт муттаҳид шудаанд: лидар, камераҳо ва радар. Диодҳои рӯшноидиҳандаи (LED) ҳаракаткунанда дар лидари 360-дараҷа рамзи мушаххаскунии шахсиро доранд, то мусофирон тавонанд мошини худро шиносанд. Сенсорҳо тавре ҷойгир карда шудаанд, ки дар воситаи нақлиёт ҳамоҳанг ва зебо намоён шаванд. Ҳадафи ин тарҳ бехатартар ва осонтар кардани ҳамлу нақли одамон ва молҳо мебошад.

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.
