Life As A Passenger

1/3 For more than a decade, we’ve been developing the Waymo Driver to operate safely and reliably. Today, we’re publishing two papers that explain the processes we use to drive fully autonomously on public roads and validate the safety of our operations. blog.waymo.com/2020/10/reveal…

Free registration for this event: Autonomous Vehicles and the City 2020 rsvp.usfca.edu/events/autonom….

You’ve been asking, and now it’s here: Waymo is opening its fully driverless service to the general public in Metro Phoenix. To our valued riders, take a ride and share your experience by tagging #WaymoOne! More here: blog.waymo.com/2020/10/waymo-…

🚨new side-project alert I've spent the last 5 years closely following the self-driving space and compiling _every_ company (and acquisition). Now I'm ready to share: selfdriving.fyi

Today we announced Telessist, a uniquely @voyage take on remote assistance for self-driving cars!

Today we're debuting Aurora’s FirstLight Lidar as a sensor on Aurora’s next-generation test vehicles, where it helps our perception system see and track objects farther, faster, and with greater precision than ever before. More photos here: link.medium.com/fY8MUlWqX7

Register (for free) and watch me dive deep into @voyage, self-driving cars, and machine learning. There will be many technical videos to nerd out on, guaranteed. atlanticcouncil.org/event/energy-s…

Looking forward to starting this after his excellent smart cities book

Fun fact: Waymo has been granted 1000+ patents WW and has more AV patent families in both L4/L5 and L2/L3 than any other company. Read how our IP team handles patent, copyright, trademark, & trade secret matters across all applications of the Waymo Driver. managingip.com/article/b1lq6n…

That's a lot of data: Ford Offers Self-Driving Dataset to Spark Research and Development by @Ford link.medium.com/hJjDOQasf6

Come for a drive with us! James Philbin, Sr. Director of Perception & Prediction, and Sarah Tariq, Director of Computer Vision, talk through a ~1-hour drive in bustling SF. 100% autonomous, with full perception output. Watch the full drive on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=6r7vDh…

Looking forward to reading the new book "Ghost Road - Beyond the Driverless Car" from the always interesting @anthonymobile starcitygroup.us/ghostroadbook/

Fantastic presentations from @PaulaABejarano and @KChachulska at the @StanfordCSP Autonomous Vehicle Bootcamp this weekend with thanks to @sujamthe

Back at Stanford to present at the @StanfordCSP Autonomous Vehicles bootcamp with stellar speakers @sujamthe @KChachulska @PaulaABejarano

The management of MDS (Mobility Data Specification) has been transferred from @LADOT to a consortium of cities and companies at the @OpenMobilityFnd! github.com/openmobilityfo… This includes version 0.4.0 of MDS which has a static file data extract option & a new Policy endpoint.

Getting in the mood for this weekend's @StanfordCSP Autonomous Vehicle bootcamp with @sujamthe

Lots of @zoox on the roads of SF today. So many sensors!

🚀 @Waymo driverless is real! This really is the beginning of something great. @voyage won't stop until this technology is serving those who need it most. youtube.com/watch?v=t_1YLH…
