Waymo Driverless car
Waymo was originally a Google self-driving car project and is now a standalone company called Waymo. Waymo's mission is to make transportation safe, easy, and accessible to all without requiring a human driver. Waymo's self-driving cars use sensors like radar, lidar, and cameras to detect surroundings from long distances in all directions. The information from these sensors is analyzed by a central computer that controls the vehicle's steering, acceleration, and braking. Waymo has been testing self-driving cars on public roads since 2009 and launched a pilot program in Phoenix, AZ in 2017 for residents to ride in the self-driving vehicles.

- 2. What is WAYMO? TheGoogle self-driving car project is now Waymo. Waymo stands for a new way forward in mobility. We are a self-driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to move around.
- 3. Driverless Car (Most ExperiencedDriver) Waymo is a self-driving technology company with the mission to make it safe and easy for everyone to get around—without the need for anyone in the driver’s seat. Our journey started at Google in 2009, and we became Waymo in 2016. Imagine if everyone could get around easily and safely, without tired, drunk or distracted driving. Time spent commuting could be time spent doing what you want, as the car handles all of the driving. We continue to drive every day on public roads. Now, we’re inviting residents in Phoenix, AZ to join the first public trial of our self-driving cars—Waymo’s early rider program.

- 9. Ultra Sensors areused to measure the position of vehicles which are very close Signal from GPS(Global Positioning System) satellite are combined with reading from tachometer, altimeter and gyroscope to provide more accurate positioning by GPS alone.
- 10. Video Cameras detecttraffic light, read road signs and position of other vehicles and look out for pedestrian and obstacles on the road. LIDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) is placed on the roof of the car, this sensor bounce pulses of light from surroundings. These are analyzed to identify lane marking and edges of road.
