Zoox: 1-Hour Fully Autonomous Drive in Las Vegas with Commentary

[@PoJenLai]

Awesome series and impressive AV stack! I love how you explained everything clearly and also showed some imperfections that everyone can try solving. Would be thrilled to see: 1. Real passenger pickup & drop-off 2. Improved U-turns & lane changes 3. New maneuver mechanism in pickup & drop-off zone

[@BurningWillow]

Great work! Very impressive perception and Planning. Great to see this coming together for Zoox!

[@grahamgervin2748]

We need more of these videos!!

[@TheShovon123]

Its INSANE how amazingly everything is working together!

[@rolandhe3059]

It is IoT in practice by an excellent video-demonstrator after hard work of develompent. So we might see taxi-bots or car-sharing-bots like this in future aap.. My questions about the UNSEENS are: I. How much electric-power does the full ict-network by one hours drive really need till today? II. To whom is this usage of driving will be sell by which price of my personal and vehicle data? III. What is your sustainable innovation impact up till now? IV. What is your own sustainable innovation gap which you want to compeed aap?

Here after they were just purchased by amazon. Interested in seeing where this company goes 5 - 10 years from now! This will change the world!!

How does it handle a traffic/police officer who is directing traffic with hand signals etc? Or anything that involves a human trying to communicate with a robotic car?

[@robertanderson1043]

Very impressive work!

[@mikezhu5894]

Really detailed demonstration videos.

[@hjmin88]

It is most impressive video what I've ever seen... Great!

[@MrBlakestreet]

While certainly impressive, the sdc does seem to drive frustratingly slow relative to the other cars on the road. E.g. getting back on the highway from the airport (14:22) it looks like the commercial van is closely tailing and a human would merge at a much higher speed (see how much faster that miata drives by). I wonder how you'll plan to find the right balance as a commercially viable service. Also, would be interesting to see how the sdc responds in more chaotic hotel drop-off scenarios (e.g. parking attendants motioning cars to move lanes or yield/pass by pedestrians).

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

I’m worried about the 2 minute mark where it moved around the indecisive vehicle, it looked like it was gonna swing into the next lane just as a car was passing by and that would spook a lot of drivers seeing some one pull or about to pull in front of them

[@Yellowmenace18]

How does it perform in less than ideal conditions, wind blowing objects across the road, hail, ice, etc?

[@getbrian]

Zoox: It sound like you were implying.your programming concerns for a use case when Zoox autonomously equipped car is stopping at 4-way stop (no-stoplight) intersection w/4-6 cars waiting ahead of you from each of all directions. What would the resultant use case be when you’re about to be rear-ended by an approaching older car w/o autonomous capability? I have plenty of thoughts but how is that situation being handled by Zoox now? (You can also hire me 😉. Plz, before Amazon )

[@atom1548]

Yielding to birds is fab!

[@uwebenda9305]

I feel like I'm witnessing history. This is mind blowing. Is there anything I could do to support?

[@eceflyboy]

I do think that if you are going to stick to exactly the speed limit and cars are passing both on the right and the left, the car should stick to the right most lane, at least until traffic speed come down closer to the speed limit. Like is often the case in Los Angeles, speed of traffic could be 15-30 miles slower than the speed limit.

[@eceflyboy]

Another case I was wondering is, on a normal 2 lane road (one in each direction), if there is a bicyclist who is taking up a lot of room but sticks to the right side of the lane (they are entitled to take up the whole lane but usually sticks to the right), would your planner overtake the bicyclist by partially getting into the opposite direction lane briefly if there is no oncoming traffic (like what a human driver would reasonably do)? Or would it just be be stuck following the bicyclist for the entire duration of the road segment?

30:30 Feature request. Honk horn and shout over speakers "Eh, asshole! I'm drivin ova hea!"

[@arifindobson]

Is that the pyramid from Las Venturas San Andreas? Btw this is super amazing man, happy for you guys!

[@snarayananiyengar9716]

EESSEENN,Delhi...Very Impressive ,Progressive and Challenging ai.👍👍

[@OLIBAHN475]

bitte keine 4K !!!

[@sunshinepawchukcfpprofessi2051]

Can you show or tell us anything about how the technology does in snow and ice conditions?

[@TuhinShukla]

Would like to see this work in Mumbai busy areas, until then I'm not convinced

[@iternityhuman1782]

Looks like the Zoox car would pass a DMV driving test no problem.

[@thabs2001]

Please do a night scenario

[@lihangying3343]

wow ILIKE IT

[@gcxing4306]

1:05, this lane change is not intelligent, sometimes it's dangerous

[@ernestassimutis6239]

nice

[@georgesteven3215]

Isn't this quite powerful than Tesla?

[@zerohelix87]

ok now show SF

[@최알리-r6r]

5년 내로. 많은게 바뀌겠구나 운수업이 특히... 위험 할 듯

[@747FirstClass]

proceeding quite smoothly towards total enslavement to complex AI systems

[@ianantonius7287]

This is really scary shit, from a passenger point of view

[@akivaweil5066]

Beautiful, not scary.

[@MattPryze]

Cheating by scanning the roads beforehand.

[@soulpedal]

Cheating? Or a way to get something started sooner while learning in parallel? Now Amazon. This will be a real fight for dominance.

[@akivaweil5066]

What a take 🤦‍♀️
