- notatoad 10y agotheir tagline is "we're building a safer driver" not "we're building a safer car". doesn't seem to contradict the techcrunch report.
- radiorental 10y agoThe impression I get from the limited information on waymo is that their prototype is still just that. A test bed for a platform that real car manufacturers can implement in their vehicle line-ups. I believe that's why you don't see controls in the prototype. It's unnecessary engineering R&D for what they are really focused on. The R&D is prohibitively expensive and outside of the capabilities for many car makers. I see Google and Apple selling to the Mazda's & Nissan's of the world. They focus on what they do well, Google works on the SDC backend. And they get to learn more about us, where we go, who we meet, what we say.
