Waymo August 22, 2024 Phoenix Monsoon / Heavy Rain Driving

So it can handle weather confidently. That's great

[@LilCow]

I am legitimately impressed, especially how well it reacted to the couple of times the vehicle hydroplaned.

[@JJRicks]

Great performance all around, solid music choices too. Vibin all the way through. Crazy the amount of progress in just a couple years

Thanks JJ

Quite challenging rain drive .... waymo seem confident

[@agildehaus]

Waymo drove me around San Francisco at night in VERY dense fog that I wouldn't have been comfortable driving in. 10-20 feet of visibility? I was nervous the entire time, but it did fine. I just wonder where their upper limit is. This video certainly seems to suggest it's doing pretty well for rain, and my experience in fog makes me think they can do most fog situations.

​@@agildehaus oh waymo can see perfectly in fog because it doesn't only rely on camera's the most important technology that helps it is lidar. Which is like a spinning laser that shoots light pulses to see and calculate distances it's very accurate.

I wanna see a tesla handling weather like this lol

Be prepared for a lot of curb rash, close calls, and not being able to stick to your lane.
