INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Earlier this month, TechCrunch held its annual Mobility Sessions event down in San Jose, where leading mobility-focused auto companies,
startups, executives and thought leaders joined us to discuss all things autonomous vehicle technology, micromobility and electric
vehicles.Extra Crunch is offering members access to full transcripts key panels and conversations from the event, including a mainstage
conversation between Waymo CTO Dmitri Dolgov and TechCrunch mobility axe Kirsten Korosec
number of different disciplines from hardware, to more advanced sensors, more powerful sensors, sensors you can manufacture at scale,
very nicely with the hardware and that connection is very deep
And our approach at Waymo is interesting in that we build our own software and hardware in house.So this is where we have access to very
powerful sensors, and not just having the increased range and increased resolution, but also having access to the raw sensor data, like the
raw measurements that you get from lidars from cameras from radars, and doing sensor fusion at a later stage, where you can really bring to
bear modern, deep learning algorithms to have models that learn to pick out the best signal from those different sensing modalities
and the importance of simulation miles when building a polished mobility product
Dmitri and Kirsten also talk through the regulatory road map and the impact it will play on AV rollouts, AV product quality, as well as on
cities and society as a whole.For access to the full transcription below and for the opportunity to read through additional event
transcripts and recaps, become a member of Extra Crunch
Then I met with some folks there
And we took another car to here.Korosec: So manually driven car from Mountain View
But My understanding is that you actually use Waymo self-driving cars quite a bit
Nowadays, this is my default mode of transportation around town, I take our cars to work pretty much every day
I take them to get around town to run some errands
Commission, that allowed us to take passengers in cars that are not employees of Waymo.So now I can take my family and I have to go to the
grocery store and I actually did that recently
I had to go with my son and instead of me doing the silly old thing of me driving around in my own car, we hopped into a Waymo
