- I knew Waymo had limited availability, so I decided to take a couple of rides while I was in Phoenix for work. The Waymo app works just like Uber or Lyft, but there's no driver.
My biggest takeaway was that this thing is driving like a person, not like a robot. I can barely begin to speculate the implications.
This ride was on May 19, 2023.
I just took one yesterday. I had no issues and I did get to play music.
Humans will never happy with anything. In my opinion, it is a great accomplishment in our time.
It seemed to do as good or better than a typical Uber driver. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good enough.
In Phoenix, you cannot park in red zones. Dropoff is fine. Rules vary by location and Waymo knows them.
They are currently testing freeway 101 .... coming soon..
A little crazy, but cool. Glad you made it out safely 😅
You must have had it on the “NY Taxi Driver” profile. Try the “Chad, the Beach City Surfer” driver profile next time
That option would have probably loaded up on screen after the music started
You can hike at that mountain over near Skyharbor
Not bad. I’m a professional driver in LA. I would have went into right lane to move a few cars up before aggressively taking a left. You can pull up to a red curb to drop someone off. There’s probably freeway laws prevent them. I’m glad you made it out safely. Too bad the music didn’t work.
Didn’t realize red curb drop offs are legal, thanks!
Red just means you park there
Saw one turn left on a green than stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk .Almost got T boned by oncoming traffic before ut took off again. Pedestrians are unpredictable.
Beautiful
Well, the cameras work just fine. Obviously from a Tesla owner.
That thing was done ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
china already has it commercially last year
If you drive for a living, your days are numbered.
Depends on the city and country. It won't be able to drive properly when its cameras and sensors are covered by snow. It can only work in places like Pheonix
@@m.b5777 The sensors clean themselves fairly well while operating and these cars will eventually be able to handle icy or snowy conditions.
lol
What if you jerk the wheel and crash it into a parked car?
There's a sticker on the dash that says something like "Do not pull on the steering wheel, vehicle may stop suddenly."
Suffice to say I'm pretty sure it would just slam on the brakes instantly if you grab the wheel
You might get banned from waymo
“ I hope it’s not relying on driving “😂😂😂 what could happen if there no internet connection .I guess this car relied from on line connection. Does it ?
These cars do not rely on access to the Internet. The computer that does the processing is inside the vehicle.
I don't think I can stand it going at the speed limit. It needs to go between 10 to 15+ the speed limit.
Sounds like the speed limit needs to change. You'll never ever see these cars exceeding the limit.
Welp... Time for me to buy some Google/Alphabet stocks.
See why not sit here driver seat?
See 3:40 it has a sign on the seatbelt that says "Do not sit here - Waymo is driving"
@@troyfromearth oh ok thanks you
9:50 A human driver accustomed to that road would have made an earlier change to the far left lane. Is it a limitation of Waymo AI, or is it that Wamymo has not yet learned that road?
Not every human driver. Maybe you would have. I wouldn’t have changed lanes at all
Waymo knows every square inch of every route it drives. But its routing decisions might not always be optimal for all traffic conditions, something they're always working on im sure.
Pretty impressive but there are so many viables that can come to play while driving that's why I'll rather prefer a human instead for now
Bro, stop being a Karen that’s how you drive
foreal though......did you see how he got out of the car holding the door open looking for a cop .....jesus the car will leave on its on ...straight karen ....just get out the car close the door and go on about your life lol....i bet if you saw a cop around you would have flagged him down and said i bet we would get ticketed for this and im going to stay here till you do something hahahahhaha ..im sorry but he gave off those kinda vibes
man you sound like what they call a hater .....you dont care to read up on things about waymo ......like no it does not go on freeways .....i have seen enough of these videos with waymo driving excellent better than humans
