Waymo con la neve, questo inverno è quello decisivo e i taxi sono attrezzati:
In addition to better data, Waymo is exploring other solutions to help its robotaxis navigate slicker, slushier streets. For example, tiny mechanical wipers have been installed to help clear snow off the vehicle’s rooftop lidar sensor. More powerful heaters are also included to help defrost all the sensors. Waymo’s current system is already trained on icy road conditions and can handle challenges like black ice.
