I am more impressed that it understood the instructions of the traffic cop giving the signal to go.
Honestly thats super impressive.
I was also very impressed that it recognized the police officer directing traffic as well as the emergency vehicles.
Its much more likely it was just following adjacent cars or it was being overridden
@@Furiends Why would that be 'more likely'?
@@Furiends You really think that, SMH
Nah I think that's right, Waymo's gen 4 vehicles are heavily supervised
Thanks for sharing. One suggestion, you should consider doing a monthly walmart/costco trip with a friend and comment on if the car got "smarter" over time.
Sounds like fun! Yeah I have another Costco trip video coming soon actually, good timing!
Emergency vehicle detection is cool.
...and pretty de rigueur for something claiming to be able to drive autonomously, or any human driver. Impressive at one level, but if we're being told that these are self drive, our level of expectation should be on par with what we'd expect from a human driver. I can't imagine any human driver passing a driving test if they didn't yield to any emergency vehicles, stop when a crossing guard so indicates, handle construction cones well, handle unclear lane markings due to construction well (like the kind that have been painted over as the lane routine are changed several times during construction, and the painted over lines look white from an angle), and all this in varied weather and road condition. The fact that this project is still in the same place years later suggests that only some very basic capabilities have been mastered, like those mentioned in this comment.
@@bearcubdaycare Don't get me wrong, I think Tesla will beat them to market due to exponential improvements due to NN/AI + the size of their real-world data set. Also Telsa does not rely on brittle HD-maps and is working on a generalized solution, not geofenced. Waymo's emergency vehicle detection looks good, though. Tesla hasn't rolled that out in beta yet.
If I hear the words "generalized solution" one more time...
@@JJRicks Ok, I'll just say "geofenced" again :)
Joel, abuser of cars. :) Great video.
Next level is to have some friends in their cars driving in front and to the side of the Waymo and box it in and see what it does.
Does the Waymo app have a geo fence map? How can you know you are inside or outside of the service by boundary?
Yep, it's outlined, looks like this photos.app.goo.gl/Sowes8Y1k6xJbgqN8
3 Taxi drivers disliked the video. :-D
It does seem like there's a lot of silent taking over by the assistance people. At least based on how much monitoring they do of you in the car
I assume they have one guy at the HQ taking care of 5 to 10 rides at a time and making sure they are going alright.
@@jort93z It could be even worse than that. There's a white van following around each waymo car, as suggested in his recent video with all the issues with the cones
There *was a white van following
@@JJRicks it seems unlikely that they would have abandoned the practice already!
@@hendazzler I don't think they have a van following each vehicle. That would be REALLY expensive. Probably just one in each area.
i wonder if the vehicles stops if someone holds a poster saying "STOP"
Maybe, haven't tested that
Tesla stopped because a commercial had a stop sign in it close to the road... It will probably do nothing if you just hold a sign with the word "stop", for it to react it must be a stop sign.
they should add a do not turn wheels when standing still function.
Somewhere in the World a kid gets paid to drive a car on his computer :D
Lol #54 proves the opposite ;)
Would be cool if the doors opened automatically.
It seems like waymo thought of everything
But its going past the cones into what it thinks is a work zone
interesting how Waymo decided to reroute before pulling into In and Out Berger, there must be some logic behind which made it circulating around for a while
Waymo needs to stop intervening on things they don't need to like the In and Out part cause if the car does something stupid the customer can give feedback for them to improve the system. If i was the CEO etc i would of just left you to it cause i'm sure you'd give me feedback on what things need to be improved on.
What were you guys trying to do in the last clip?
Waymo getting stuck in the In N Out drive through, but it refused to haha
lack of properly designed In N Out system.
Why is there a divider between front and back when it’s a driverless car?
Could a driverless car take me from Arizona to Oregon?
because it's not your car to mess with and they need special permission from the city they can't let them drive anywhere
@@LauS0 I was thinking this and because if someone is drunk it would be hard to argue that you didn't move to the back. The divider makes it obvious that the car was driving.
Hi, Is there any other video I can see more about Pullover? i am very interested in it
Sadly I don't have any more, sorry
@@JJRicks Thanks💗
Your famous in the news.
I've seen the Arstechnica one and the Wired one, did you see any others? Would like to know :D
@@JJRicks Don’t know just typed in Waymo in google and said meet the person that has taken a ton of waymo trips a student in Arizona university and showed your picture.
How do they fill the cars up with gas?
Best I can tell, if it gets close to empty they just bring it back to home base
@@JJRicks What happens if you stay in the car after the trip ends?
Rider support will call you and ask if there's anything wrong, I don't know what happens if you stay longer cause I've never tried it and am afraid of getting banned haha
What was with all the cones in the parking lot?
We set them up as an obstacle course
@@JJRicks lol... that's cruel. Was this before or after that ride where you got stuck at those construction cones and it kept getting stuck and then driving away from the support team?
@@danieldaniels7571 Way way before
id ike to see a thin dead end lane it has to reverse out onto a road
Well I have a few things sort of like that
That's not really a thing in Chandler, but check out Maya covering Waymo in San Francisco. I think she has videos of it.
What if a cop tries to pull over a waymo car?
It will pull over lol
This is a great vision - road traffic of the future will be networked and, above all, be electric and autonomous, I'm one hundred percent sure, because that wouldn't prevent the number of accidents there and we would most likely live healthier lives, I'm sure.
You can't prevent 100% accident free, but a proper design system with safety focus should fail predictably and reliably.
I have reasonably confidence in this system.
One thing still missing though it's extreme weather condition.
Not likely
@@gerjaison In the far future (20-30 years), all vehicles and pedestrians will communicate with each other (automatically) so there will be no surprises (except fallen bridges, wild animals, and such). Cars stuck in snow could probably get rescued by one or a chain of cars pulling together as necessary. Any skid/sticky location will be immediately shared and routed around. Likewise wild animals: any car/road sensor/cam seeing such and similar hazard will automatically inform all relevant cars in the area, so probably 95%+ of current accidents with wild animals and rough weather conditions will be avoided in such future.
@@Fatman305 I hope so, future is looking bright
Check out GPT-3!
I have, haha. It's cool!
Are you part of the product test team? Why are you messing with Waymo to try and make it get stuck?
Enthusiast
@@JJRicks it’s good you’re out there, I bet waymo appreciates the real world R&D
Waymo is ton better than Telsa but look bulky. Not as stylish as Telsa. Is ok for me.
Does Tesla have an app for one to come pick you up and give you a ride?
