A New Kind of Uber: Taking a Spin in Waymo’s Self-Driving Car

  • Waymo One, a self-driving car service owned by Alphabet, partnered with Uber to offer self-driving rides to the public in cities like Phoenix and Austin. Riders can enable autonomous cars in the Uber app and may get a Waymo vehicle randomly on UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric.
  • The self-driving cars cost the same as a regular Uber ride and are available 24/7, returning to base only for maintenance and charging. Waymo can be ordered through the Waymo One app in select cities or through Uber in Austin.
  • During a Waymo ride, passengers use the Uber app to open the door, are greeted by name, and can control the ride, add stops, choose music, and request assistance from the console inside the vehicle.
  • Waymo cars can navigate autonomously within a specific radius, obeying traffic rules, such as speed limits and signal lights. LiDAR sensors, cameras, and radar help Waymo create a 3D map of its environment for navigation and object detection.
  • Waymo operates at Level 4 autonomy, where the car drives itself in a limited area, while Level 5 autonomy allows cars to drive anywhere without human intervention. Waymo has raised $11 billion, surpassing other companies like GM's Cruise and Tesla in self-driving technology.
  • Cruise has also achieved Level 4 autonomy, but faced shutdowns due to accidents. Tesla operates at Level 2 autonomy, assisting drivers with acceleration and steering using cameras. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk prefers cameras over LiDAR but has reportedly acquired some LiDAR sensors.
