What is Waymo using? Custom ASIC?
- Fricken 8y agoWaymo pretty top-secret about their hardware, so I'm not sure. I would venture to guess that if they don't have a custom ASIC yet they're working on one. I know they had Intel FPGAs and it's a safe bet they've integrated Google's tensor core architecture.
- bob_theslob646 8y agoWasn't a bunch of stuff declassified during their lawsuit with Uber?
- Fricken 8y agoA bunch of details about their lidar came out in the depositions, and lots of juicy gossip about their internal politics, power struggles and backroom dealings. I don't recall reading anything about their compute.
- wyldfire 8y agoWaymo's advantages include LIDAR and extremely detailed maps, IIRC. If I had to guess, those maps probably help them distinguish between roadside objects that happen to be static right now and ones that are really not going anywhere.
