Part of our 1,000+ mile challenge: Driving autonomously across the bridges in the Bay Area

- In early 2009, when Waymo was first founded as the “Google Self-Driving Car Project”, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page challenged our first engineers to drive autonomously with absolutely no human intervention or disengagements necessary along ten unique, pre-selected 100 mile routes in our home state of California. By December 2009, the team had completed their first route, and nine months later in mid 2010, they wrapped up the last.
This route crossed all five bridges in the Bay Area: San Mateo, Dumbarton, Bay, Richmond, and Golden Gate! It was about 100 miles long, and took about two and a half hours, fully autonomous.

This is from 2009 and the quality looks like its from 1980
Impressive lead and technology from Google. Congratulations!
it's interesting seeing "old" san francisco
Is this the best camera technology Google had in 2009????
Good to see prep for the Bay Area! 😁
I also have a dashcam and have several TB's of footage just like this...
I, myself cant drive due to medical reasons. Every time you put a vidoe on its always in the nice sunny weather. Can you put some videos on CZcams showing how the car reacts in rainy/heavy rainfall? Thanks and much appreciated
They'll have to wait a few years. They test in California
nice job !
Is this the Firefly or the Lexus RX250? And by the way this video would be much more enjoyable with sound.
Drive faster!
These are the cars that are causing all the traffic gridlock by not keeping up with the flow of traffic. Hopefully that is fixed!
All highways should be mandatory self-driving by 2025
Since fully autonomous cars won't exist by then, it would be extremely stupid.
@@paname514 🤣 have you been living under a rock? There here ready to go, public perception will turn on a dime! And they will become ubiquitous in no time! It's all in the #McKayAEVreport

They do NOT exist, they are far from being entirely reliable, their safety is not proved, their cost make it impossible to sell them to customers, they are not allowed on the roads.
Should that bullshit ever exit in 2025, 99% of the cars will not have it, since most cars on the road will be more affordable or older, thus no road will be restricted.
@@cmk353 you're so right in every way possible. 😀
