About The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Uhlelo Lokushayela Oluzimele
I-Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver iwuhlelo lokushayela oluzimele lwezimoto. Lolu hlelo lungasetshenziswa ezinkundleni eziningi zezimoto, kusukela ezimotweni kuya emalolini, futhi lusekela ukugibela okucelwayo, ukuthutha ngamaloli, ukulethwa kwempahla endaweni kanye nobunikazi bemoto yomuntu siqu. Ubuchwepheshe obuthathu bokuzwa buhlanganiswe ndawonye kwikhithi yehardware: i-lidar, amakhamera kanye ne-radar. Ama-LED anyakazayo ku-lidar ye-360 degree aphethe uphawu lokuhlonza lomuntu siqu, ukuze abagibeli bakwazi ukubona imoto yabo. Izinzwa zibekwe ngendlela yokuthi zibukeke zihlangene ngokupheleleyo emotweni. Umklamo uhlose ukwenza ezokuthutha ziphephe futhi zibe lula kubantu nasezimpahleni.
About the Umklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award
The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Uhlelo Lokushayela Oluzimele iwinile uMklomelo Weplatinamu we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile kakhulu okunikezwa imiklamo eyiqiniso eyingqayizivele, ebukekayo nenobukhosi. Abawinile bePlatinamu yizimangaliso zokudalwa, ubufakazi bemingcele yobuhlakani bokudala, futhi babonisa ubungcweti nobuhlakani obungenakuqhathaniswa babaklami babo.

*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.
