Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., is an autonomous driving technology company dedicated to making it safe and easy for people and things to move around. Originating as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has developed the Waymo Driver, an advanced self-driving system integrated into various vehicle platforms. The company offers Waymo One, a ride-hailing service utilizing autonomous vehicles, operating in cities like Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. With millions of miles driven autonomously, Waymo aims to improve road safety and expand access to mobility through its innovative technologies.
Accessing autonomous ride-hailing services in select urban areas.
Enhancing road safety through advanced self-driving technology.
Reducing transportation-related carbon emissions with electric autonomous vehicles.
Advancing research and development in autonomous vehicle technology.
Waymo operates at SAE Level 4 autonomy with full self-driving capabilities in geofenced urban areas across Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Its fifth-generation Driver system combines custom lidar (360° detection up to 300m), high-resolution cameras (500m+ object identification), radar with Doppler velocity tracking, and AI-powered path prediction algorithms. The system demonstrates continuous learning through millions of real-world miles and billions of simulated scenarios via Carcraft virtual environment. While handling complex urban driving scenarios including emergency vehicle detection and construction zones, limitations remain in extreme weather performance and require remote assistance escalation for <0.001% of edge cases according to company reports.
