Testing Rare Automotive Scenarios Through Simulation

Testing Rare Automotive Scenarios Through Simulation

Automotive World ⊳ Waymo has introduced a generative simulation model, the Waymo World Model, powered by Google DeepMind’s Genie 3, designed to enhance its autonomous driving system by simulating rare scenarios, such as tornadoes and flooded streets. This model generates camera and LiDAR data, enabling engineers to test various driving conditions and times of day. While Waymo’s approach is innovative, it faces scrutiny from US authorities due to recent safety incidents involving its robotaxis. The company aims to expand its commercial services to 15 cities, including London and Tokyo.
