Does Google Earth/Maps/StreetView not count as mapping? I was feeling certain that all that infrastructure and data was invested into Waymo. It would seem that Google had a huge advantage from running mapping/camera cars for years and years, before SDC were even a glimmer in their eyes.
- rcxdude 2y agoThe mapping that waymo uses is much more detailed than streetview, the biggest difference being that it includes lidar data. I wouldn't be surprised if they combined the two for some of their latest data updates, but the pre-existing streetview data is not obviously enough to give an advantage.
