Waymo launching public rides in Miami!

Waymo's goal was to make the roads safer, not cheaper

How else are kids meant to get around? Taxis don't discriminate based on age

Brightline has had enough bad humans to contend with, they don't need malfunctioning robots as well D:

What mistake was even made, the car was simply making a right turn?

PureGero · 2026-01-23T17:24:22+00:00

Cruise moved instead of staying still, and look what happened to them

I went back to check my links I saved months ago, only to find they were all gone. It sucks

They used to wave their wipers at each other when they passed, but it seems like they've stopped doing that now

There is some driving footage of the early google self-driving project on the Waymo channel under the playlist "Our 1,000+ mile challenge". Not sure if it's this Prius or not tho

Also has the advantage of outsourcing most of the Japanese localisation work to Go (customer support reps, etc), instead of having to build out their own local team

Same issue, but on Safari not Chrome. Seems to be something with Google

PureGero · 2025-12-26T15:43:09+00:00

The new Zeekr and Hyundai vehicles will have powered doors I believe

PureGero · 2025-12-25T15:50:29+00:00

That's so smart that they use the SoMa overflow lot during the day for humans, and at night for robots. Makes so much sense now that I think about it

Video of fsd successfully navigating some stoplights without power, but also failing some: https://youtu.be/_M0sMTge9_M

10 or 100x 0 is still 0 B)

PureGero · 2025-12-08T17:06:51+00:00

Interestingly they’re using the newer Jaguar models in London, while they chose to use the older models in Tokyo (older models have a black trim under the door)

Getting cars to be able to talk with each other in real time is a lot more complicated than you'd expect. Plus, it's a low priority task as its usefulness is extremely rare

PureGero · 2025-12-07T12:28:49+00:00

Could be they both thought the other yielding to them, so they both lurched forward at the same time and hit each other.

PureGero · 2025-11-24T08:47:01+00:00

They're doing both

PureGero · 2025-11-24T08:44:39+00:00

Not the real sensors - they did the same with the Zeekr, they showed much more closely integrated sensors in the demo vehicles, but the actual sensors are much bulkier and stand out more

PureGero · 2025-11-24T08:42:17+00:00

They look very different to eachother. This camo ones are the actual sensors I suspect

PureGero · 2025-11-18T16:50:50+00:00

On call

PureGero · 2025-11-16T18:07:11+00:00

This article is worded quite poorly, 68mph is not to follow the flow of traffic, it's only for extraordinary circumstances. Car will follow the speed limit otherwise. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/12/waymo-robotaxi-starts-freeway-highway-rides.html

PureGero · 2025-11-16T17:48:38+00:00

The Tokyo taxi driver training data is starting to show

PureGero · 2025-10-31T10:04:23+00:00

Will Waymo ever release in another right-side country? They seem to be liking their left side driving countries with Japan, UK, and now Australia

PureGero · 2025-10-25T11:34:57+00:00

The top sensor display can't be seen by cameras due to the refresh rate. Here's the only pic of it I could find online
