Various sensors, such as LiDAR, cameras and radar collect environmental data surrounding the vehicle. Using sensor fusion technology perception algorithms can determine in real time the type, location, velocity and orientation of objects on the road. This autonomous perception system is backed by both Baidu’s big data and deep learning technologies, as well as a vast collection of real world labeled driving data. The large-scale deep-learning platform and GPU clusters. Simulation provides the ability to virtually drive millions of kilometers daily using an array of real world traffic and autonomous driving data. Through the simulation service, partners gain access to a large number of autonomous driving scenes to quickly test, validate, and optimize models with comprehensive coverage in a way that is safe and efficient.

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.
