If you slowly drag across the video you can see when it first changes planning direction and it was so unbelievably early

It handled it better than the average human driver could

What would've happened if it was a single lane road and had traffic coming from the other side?

I'm trying to think what I would have done in this situation and I think I would have just slammed the breaks and hope for the best - not sure if that would have worked though

So far ahead of tesla

This is legit better than most human drivers would have handled this

I got hit by a car recently while scootering in SF, It sure wouldn’t have hit me if it was a Waymo

>90% drivers don't have those reflexes self-driving will end deadly accidents deadly accidents are 99% caused by human stupidity

could have been a car behind and on the left, checkmate situation

Waymo just saved that girls life

this is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a while

Looks like this would even work in a place like India

amazing

Wow

i used to sleep in waymo peacefully

computers are cool

It's fantastic that it knew to avoid her, but the event looks faster due to the choppy video. Look at the top right corner for actual driving speed. I hope that Waymo and Tesla vehicles can do the same maneuver safely at higher speeds as well.

I love you waymo

That's very interesting I wonder how Teslas FSD would have reacted

This is what self driving car truly for

Holy cow

Nice!

if you watch closely, the reaction to even the very first moment of instability of the scooter is near instantanious remarkable

Excellent!

I bet you this happens hundreds of times a day with Teslas doing the exact same thing.

it had to swerve because it was approaching too fast, what was it going to do if they hadn’t fallen, inch past them in the lane?!

The animation is so cool

good waymo

I live in Waymo-land, they ride my ass all the time. They are some of the worst operators of vehicles. Waymo-land is Tempe, AZ area, BTW.

Waymo: impressive Scooter: bruh wtf

wow!

Those scooters are death traps low key...

Darwin Award denied!

That’s great! It’s going to be fun to see Wayno vs. Tesla in the coming years. Sadly, I think it’ll take a long time before it reaches Europe.

Do Waymos respond to positive reinforcement? Good job!

Better than the average driver forsure but good drivers would’ve switched to the left lane even before approaching the scooter to give him space after the other car passed on the left, the best drivers predict the unexpected more often than they react to it, I’d trust it over an

Do you think Waymo is technology that will be available to poor people?

It is just amazing to see how far we have come in terms of technology

Super impressive

the most impressive part is that it slows down to let the car passing it by get out of the way before the major correction. I would like to see how it behaves if there is not free space and/or incoming traffic in the other empty space. Either way, much better than most humans.

try and convince me that people will pay more for human driver.

@Waymo

is the best thing that happened to cab ride experience - I don't get sick, I don't need to do forced small talk, I feel safer.

That’s a super effective accident avoidance system

Well done to the team at Waymo for working hard enough that these things can avoid things like that, but I can't help but feel uneasy at how it just continues on its way without even slowing down. A person would check on her.

Is the top half a sort of educational visualisation, or is that more or less what the car sees in real time? Looks like a mix of hard-coded map and real time camera/lidar?

The way it keeps its path projection continuous is very fascinating.

I feel FSD is nowhere near this level of adaptability/responsiveness to unique situations

It's clear autonomous driving is the future

LiDARs are essential. Has little to do with the video, Tesla might have done the same. But for me to feel safe I need the autopilot to be always aware of any obstacles to avoid, instead of hoping for the pixel pattern to be recognised from the video stream.

Would this quick reaction time have been possible with Tesla's FSD? I always believe physical sensors complementing the Camera modules would be the best option rather than just relying on Camera (Computer Vision) ? I may be wrong but would like to hear your thoughts.
