AutonomouStuff

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company that develops self-driving vehicles and operates fully driverless transportation services. Originally created as Google’s self-driving car project in 2009, the company later became an independent subsidiary of Alphabet with the goal of making transportation safer, more accessible, and more efficient through autonomous mobility. Its core technology, known as the Waymo Driver, combines artificial intelligence, high-resolution cameras, radar, lidar sensors, and detailed digital maps to allow vehicles to perceive their surroundings and navigate roads without human intervention. It continuously analyzes traffic signals, pedestrians, other vehicles, and road conditions to determine safe driving actions in real time. Before operating in a new area, Waymo vehicles map roads in extreme detail, identifying lane markings, signs, and intersections, and then combine this information with real-time sensor data to maintain precise positioning.

From a variety of ADAS solutions to a self-driving system for autonomous public transport or goods delivery, all the way to consumer AVs. By developing everything from the silicon through to the self-driving system in-house, numerous efficiencies and synergies are unlocked, allowing us to reach AV at scale. From the beginning, Mobileye has developed hardware and software in-house, paving the way for highly efficient hardware, software, and algorithmic stacks at a superior cost-performance ratio. Everything Mobileye develops is safe by design, with a distinct strategy so that the technology can reach the mass market.
