Google presents Waymo, the brand of its autonomous cars

Techno 18 December, 2016

Google launches a new brand named Waymo corresponding to its autonomous cars. In a video, we can see her in a situation on the road.
It does not stop Google! Having launched its new Android OS Things , the Mountain View company continues to develop new technologies. As a result, a brand is emerging to represent Google’s future means of autonomous locomotion. Say hello to Waymo. The cars have been tested in situation in recent months on the road to see if they are ready to fit into traffic. CNNMoney, the economic branch of CNN posted a video on YouTube allowing us to appreciate one Waymo with on board a man blind who was the one convinced Google that his autonomous car was ready to roll.

As CNNMoney points out in the items in the video, Waymo is not destined to become an automotive brand but a brand to train better drivers. Google’s autonomous cars have traveled several million kilometers on public roads to test their behavior, particularly in front of signs. For now, everything is not yet perfect. According to CNNMoney, the tests should be further amplified during adverse climatic conditions (rain, fog, snow …) and improve the database of cars at the level of road maps. But all this seems very promising. See if the trial concludes in the next few years. We hope that by then the Pixel Google has been launched in France .
