Summary
Waymo has developed a new computer model to improve its understanding of human behavior in crash scenarios encountered by its robotaxis. The model aims to help the company’s self-driving cars better predict and respond to unexpected events on the road. According to Waymo, the model is based on data from various sources, including crash reports and naturalistic driving studies. The company hopes to use the model to enhance the safety and efficiency of its robotaxis.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Waymo’s new computer model is designed to help its robotaxis navigate complex crash scenarios. The model uses data from crash reports and driving studies to improve the company’s understanding of human behavior. Because what we really needed was another AI-powered solution to a problem that’s been around since the invention of the car. Waymo’s robotaxis will now be able to predict and respond to crashes with slightly more accuracy. Because that’s exactly what we’re missing on the roads today – more computers trying to understand humans.
