(Original title: Waymo now testing its self-driving cars on public roads with no one at the wheel)
According to TechCrunch, TechCrunch reported that driverless car company Waymo recently convened numerous reporters at its private test site in Castle, and took its driverless car without a safety driver to ensure safety. . Now, the company is undertaking bolder tests, testing its unmanned modified car on the public roads - the Chrysler Pacifica, and there is no human driver to ensure safety. In addition, the new test is not limited to one or two lines.
In fact, the test area in which Waymo is truly conducting unmanned tests is located in Chandler, Arizona, and these cars can be driven in this defined space. Never underestimate the importance of this milestone: The Waymo car is in a fully automated state of class 4 and shares public roads with humans driving cars and pedestrians. Even if things are not going according to plan, no one on the car can take control of it in time.
This highlights Waymo's confidence. Waymo Cars achieved true automated level 4 driving in a specific area of ​​Chandler. However, the passengers currently tested are all Waymo employees, so it cannot be said that the company gave up its cautious attitude. On the contrary, it shows that Google has prepared itself for the next major phase of operation after it has solved many complex problems in the past 10 years.
Waymo CEO John Krafcik announced the launch of a completely unmanned pilot at today’s Web Summit Summit and released related videos. He also pointed out that although the test started with employees as passengers, it will soon expand into the existing Chandler driverless taxi service.
In the future, Waymo will operate a fully autonomous taxiing service without the supervision of safety drivers. This is the first important attempt of the industry in realizing the dream of commercial autopilot. Klafusik also said that Waymo hopes to expand the geographic scope of its trials, from the recent expansion to the entire Phoenix area, which is larger than the entire Greater London area.
Residents who participated in the test will also be able to use the test vehicle today and be able to perform any travel within the designated area. Whether they are commuting or going shopping or attending school, they can meet any of their transportation needs. They use the Waymo app to call the vehicle and press the button to travel. There is also an on-board support system that allows them to talk to the on-site support agent at Waymo at any time.
Waymo's goal is to make sure everyone has safer traffic. After spending some time in completely unmanned Pacifica, I believe more than ever that they are fighting for this goal. Bringing the true Level 4 driverless experience to public roads and buses is a huge step forward, which means we can enjoy the autopilot experience earlier than you think. (small)
