Here are some nice Waymo “Safety” Stats.

clearly, needs more Lidar.

Need 100 more liDAr

Oh yes..... this is absolutely the best path to fully autonomous vehicles 😂😂😂😂.

Oh, Waymo's self-driving cars? Totally invisible to the legacy media's keen eyes, which somehow never manage to spot them for a story.

Waymo drives into a flooded road during a service, which results in the passenger getting stuck. Yikes. Maybe a little more LiDAR would’ve prevented this.

A man in Scottsdale, Arizona, was stuck going in circles with a Waymo self-driving car while attempting to get to the airport for a flight 👀🤯

Kyle Vogt, Cruise co-founder, has come to realize Tesla’s end2end neural network approach to self driving is the right bet. Waymo knows this too but is stuck with LiDAR/sensor fusion and HD map.

🚨 SELF-DRIVING CARS FREEZE MID-STREET AFTER SAN FRANCISCO BLACKOUT - PASSENGERS TRAPPED INSIDE A massive power outage knocked out huge parts of San Francisco and the city’s fleet of Waymo self-driving taxis immediately broke down. Videos show autonomous cars dead-stopped in intersections, hazard lights flashing, passengers stuck inside, while traffic lights across the city went dark. Officials blame a fire at a PG&E substation that left 125,000+ customers without power. Waymo quietly suspended service but offered no real explanation for why its cars couldn’t operate without the grid. If one blackout turns “the future of transportation” into stalled vehicles blocking emergency routes… what happens when the lights go out on purpose?

Waymo has paused service in two cities because its robotaxis are driving into floods. They are recalling nearly 4,000 self driving vehicles over concerns they may not properly stop for flooded roadways. LiDAR clearly isn’t working.

NEWS: Waymo has introduced the Waymo World Model, "a frontier generative model built on Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 that sets a new bar for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation." "By simulating the “impossible”, we proactively prepare the Waymo Driver for some of the most rare and complex scenarios—from tornadoes to planes landing on freeways—long before it encounters them in the real world. The model’s architecture offers high controllability, allowing our engineers to modify simulations with simple language prompts, driving inputs, and scene layouts. Notably, the Waymo World Model generates high-fidelity, multi-sensor outputs that include both camera and lidar data. This combination of broad world knowledge, fine-grained controllability, and multi-modal realism enhances Waymo’s ability to safely scale our service across more places and new driving environments. In the following sections we showcase the Waymo World Model in action, featuring simulations of the Waymo Driver navigating diverse rare edge-case scenarios." More info below.

Waymo says there were no passengers onboard a self-driving car that was seen stopped between train tracks and a crossing gate at a railroad crossing in Austin, Texas, as a train went past.
