By    26 Aug,2022

The latest Waymo self-driving video is on fire: this time, not only is the main driver unmanned, but the entire 40-minute drive is takeover-free. The route takes the car from Castro in San Francisco to the famous Golden Gate Bridge and finally to Richmond.

Although the car is basically driving in the city, there are many pedestrians and crosswalks, but the whole process is basically in a timely start, smooth braking state.


The speed is about 40 km/h.


There was only one Waymo employee in the car, sitting in the back to record the video.


He said that basically no one noticed that the car was driving unmanned. There are one or two found, are repeatedly confirmed, can not believe their eyes.


Many netizens are amazed by the performance of Waymo in this video: this is real full self-driving, right?


Of course, there are also questions: when can ordinary people buy one and how much does it cost?


Waymo this video is a level?

The answer to the last question at the beginning is of course: not for sale. This is actually a test by Waymo.

According to official news, since March this year, Waymo has been on the road in San Francisco for self-driving tests, completely removing the human driver kind. The passengers (testers) in these cars are all employees, and the person driving the hair video is a Waymo software engineer. They can choose to have Waymo drive them to get a cup of coffee each morning and then take them to work.


As of today, the test has surpassed 500,000 miles (about 800,000 kilometers, in urban areas). While removing human drivers from vehicles in San Francisco is a major milestone for Waymo, it's not the first time the company has deployed fully self-driving cars in the city.
