Inside The World's Most Futuristic Driverless Taxi

This is the world’s first fully autonomous car for ride-hailing created by Waymo. While we were in San Francisco, we had to go and check out the autonomous vehicles that have been picking people up across the Californian city.
The all-electric fleet of self-driving cars works exactly like paid ride hailing apps, minus the driver.
Alex was able to see the future of ride-hailing in action, and we cannot wait to see technology like this roll out to new cities in the future!
Huge thanks to ‪@Waymo‬!

I’ve been using waymo for over 3 years in phoenix. The days of Uber and Lyft are numbered. Every drive I’ve taken is a good drive. Truly incredible and lucky to be one of the first to use it daily.

[@pitech4446]

really, that's what you said about Cruise as well and they got their license pulled indefinitely haha.

[@NyQuilDonut]

​@@pitech4446The technology is just going to keep improving until self-driving cars are the norm. Malfunctions during early implementation of new technology doesn't disprove that.

I'm glad that this company is talking about expanding their business to Japan. A lot of cities in Japan has a labor shortage in their Transportation Sector (they're in need of a lot of bus, taxi, and truck drivers.) And because of that; Japan has been forced to allow a lot of low skilled foreigners from poor and dangerous countries to come to work and live in Japan this past decade. Which has unfortunately caused an increase of crimes in some Japanese cities. Innovation and technology like this can fix that type of problem in Japan and other countries that have are also facing this type of issue.

[@rioriggs3568]

Tesla has no redundancy and no geofencing, they won't get approved for years. IMO Tesla's FSD is at least 5 years behind Waymo.

[@krisannpeters325]

We took Waymo 15 times in San Francisco. I LOVE Waymo. I want a Waymo. Waymo is amazing and actually is a better driver than most humans. I learned some things from Waymo. Waymo is smooth, efficient, and patient and SAFE!!! I volunteer to be an ambassador for Waymo. We need Waymo everywhere!!!

[@joossseeee]

I ride Waymo weekly! It’s incredible, safe, smooth… I don’t think I’ve ordered an Uber in months. It’s a shame but I 100% agree with SCB - the human element of ride share is often the worst/scariest one :(

[@Oneness100]

Well, that's lots of jobs going away. What are people to do in order to earn a decent income? Post KZbin videos of them using an autonomous car? After a while people will get bored of watching those videos. 🙂

It would be interesting to know what the car would do in a life and death situation. For example, if the passenger has an heart attack, would it automatically take him/her to the nearest hospital or alert paramedics ?

[@dagggerdikkk4502]

no those advacements need to be coded in ai , next upragde i think .

[@MirdaDeLaVega9851]

inside u have the cameras so if that happened u can press button for the tech support and tell him that u need hospital, and he can give new coordinate to a car and they will drive u there

[@BhaaskarDesai]

@@MirdaDeLaVega9851 As far as cameras and calling tech support are concerned, I figured that out, but the question remains what if the passenger isn't able to do that on his own due to lack of strength or if he/she just passes out?. Also, in cases of other emergencies, humans are better equipped with common sense as to what can be done rather than just depending on AI for everything. I am not against technology, but sometimes, its best to do something ourselves. :)

[@pennytrui1149]

​@@BhaaskarDesaithey have cameras inside the car they see you at all times. So I guess they can change your destination and say drive to the hospital or the car will park and support may call an ambulance and give the location of the car to them

[@longboarderanonymous5718]

It will likely follow the policy similar to Uber or Lyft. Mostly like pull over and alert first responders.

PART 2: The show’s that most of them are happy, excited & un measurable joy to experience the Autonomous Car. I feel their comments, weather its a negative or positive ideas & the trust to the new texhnogy. I, myself has the same feeling abiut it. I’m so happy & Proud that it is for real finally. A part of my brain is telling me something. Which i wanna keep it by myself. But I can’t.

[@gardinchannel1166]

I drive Lyft everyday in San Francisco and I have never encountered problems with Waymo cars stopping out of the blue and delaying traffic as I have with Cruise cars (which the city banned after it dragged a pedestrian a few feet down the street). I'm not afraid that it might drive me out of business one day. You know, change is what progress is all about. New tech comes in to fill the needs of society and just as old jobs cease to exist new jobs are created. Autonomous cars are here to stay, there's no going back, we just have to accept it and learn how to adapt to the new.

I think it would be pretty cool to add a solar panel on the body of the cars ( except the door or maybe not) it would increase its efficiency on sunny days by a lot and less hassle of charge be the engine hood were made of solar as Most Evs don't have piston engines that need beefy cooling. It might increase the cost by around 5 to 10 USD, again the user does not own so, so I think it would be good. **Google/Waymo add this above feature if you read comments** What's next self-balanced auto bike?

[@hairychesticles1]

The solar panel would need to be fairly small to not interfere with the tech on the roof making it almost useless when it comes to giving the car extra power. Even a solar panel covering the entire roof might only ammount to an extra 1000 miles a year in more sunny states. Also it would increase the cost by allot more then 5 to 10usd if we are talking about a full size roof solar. It would be thousands not 5 to 10 bucks 😂
