I think there's more than that. The safety report they released recently indicates the vehicles also have redundant power systems, redundant braking systems, redundant steering systems, etc. I doubt that the stock configurations require as much redundancy.
- organsnyder 9y agoAh, that could be. Though could that be talking about redundant processing (i.e. two dependent algorithms making the same decision) rather than duplicate hardware?
- jvolkman 9y agoDon't think so. You can read the descriptions on page 17 of the report: https://storage.googleapis.com/sdc-prod/v1/safety-report/waymo-safety-report-2017-10.pdf https://storage.googleapis.com/sdc-prod/v1/safety-report/way... For example: The steering system features a redundant drive motor system with independent controllers and separate power supplies. Either one can manage steering in the case that a failure occurs in the other
