We’ve built the Waymo Driver to operate without the need for human intervention, and in order to do that sometimes, it requires additional context from our fleet response team. See their role in helping us safely scale:

just go home.

Is that pop up question generated by the Waymo Driver and then fleet response selects the appropriate answer?

Your fleet response team is not human?

So..your fleet response team is not human, but AI?

Waymo's fleet response team involves remote human assistance. I believe Tesla's central AI computer could handle this aspect. Currently, the driver-assist FSD operates as follows (especially with e2e v12): 1. When the driver activates FSD, 2. It heavily relies on navigation route guidance, Driving based on "feel." Since it is end-to-end (e2e), there is no specific logic; it simply adjusts speed, maintains distance from vehicles in front and beside, changes lanes, overtakes, avoids people and bicycles, reacts to traffic lights, and when the given route is blocked, proceeds in a feasible direction until the navigation route is updated. Many users are satisfied with FSD v12's performance. 3. When reaching the destination, it stops. .. FSD can drive autonomously by respecting the navigation route, but I believe this alone is insufficient for operating a robotaxi. Situations like handling minor accidents, responding to passenger emergencies, navigating or avoiding flooded areas, preemptively avoiding emergency vehicles, managing passenger schedules, and driving in parking lots are scenarios that FSD might not handle on its own. The central computer should make these difficult decisions and efficiently manage the robotaxis. The central computer would be AI-driven, with a few engineers overseeing it.

Are you saying you need vision and neural nets to solve autonomy?

Wow, what a crutch 😬

Does Waymo use fleet response events to train the Waymo Driver?

In this example, the response team told the Waymo that all the indicated lanes were blocked, causing it to make a left turn. Yet the vehicle directly in front of the Waymo was able to continue going straight as the lanes were not all actually blocked.
