Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: Google (microblogging) brother company Waymo confirmed last month that it is developing self-driving trucks and began preliminary tests. In the field of self-driving trucks, Waymo lags behind some opponents. A few days ago, foreign media photographed the "Fang Rong" of the Waymo self-driving truck.
According to the disclosed photos, Waymo's self-driving trucks are painted in blue and equipped with a variety of autopilot hardware, including ultrasonic sensors, radar, and lidar systems.
Like Waymo's self-driving cars, the lidar is mounted on the roof of the car, and the massive data of the road is acquired through peripheral scanning, which is analyzed and pointed out to be provided to the automatic driving control system.
Last month, Waymo officials have confirmed that there is already a self-driving truck on the road test. It is unclear what level of truck project development is currently in progress.
In the field of autonomous vehicles, Waymo has been researching since 2009 and is a ancestral enterprise, but in the trucking field, Waymo is currently behind. It is reported that a number of new technology companies have emerged in the United States, specializing in the field of self-driving trucks.
In the case of Waymo suing Uber for stealing technical secrets, there is a core figure Lewandowski. After leaving this Waymo, the company first founded a self-driving truck company called "Otto". The company carried out the first long-distance delivery test of self-driving trucks in American history, which was successful and caused great public concern.
Later, Uber spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire the company, and Uber also owned the self-driving truck business. However, in the previous lawsuits of the two companies, Uber has fired Lewandowski on the grounds that he did not cooperate with the court investigation of the lawsuit.
According to reports, the purpose of the self-driving trucks such as Waymo and Otto is not to completely replace the traditional truck driver, but to reduce the workload of the driver through the automatic driving system, improve safety and operational efficiency. Compared with driving a private car, the truck is more exhausted and the route is more singular. If the automatic driving system is mature, the driver can consider other matters related to delivery, and even take a short break on the road.
In the autopilot system, Waymo will not produce cars, but license the hardware and software systems to traditional car manufacturers. Recently, Waymo also canceled its own prototype project (oval appearance). Previously, Waymo and Chrysler worked together to produce hundreds of self-driving cars using Waymo's technology, but still in beta.
In the trucking sector, Waymo is expected to adopt a car model that licenses related systems and technologies to truck manufacturers to retrofit their finished vehicles.
For Waymo, R&D speed is critical. Before being split into an independent company, Google's self-driving cars developed for many years, but the progress was very slow, and it was too late to produce commercial technology and products.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, has changed its strategy to reduce the level of research and development for autonomous driving technology. It hopes to commercialize it as soon as possible and contribute real money to the company.
At present, Tesla, Toyota and other companies have deployed more mature autonomous driving technology in the actual sales of cars, Waymo is facing greater rivals to catch up with the pressure.
