WAYMO by GOOGLE

As of my last update in January 2022, Google's autonomous vehicle project was known as Waymo. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, and it focuses on developing self-driving technology. Originally started as a project within Google, Waymo has since become its own entity.

Waymo has been one of the leading players in the development of autonomous driving technology, with a particular focus on developing software and hardware for self-driving cars. The company has conducted extensive testing on public roads, accumulated millions of miles of autonomous driving experience, and launched limited commercial autonomous ride-hailing services in certain regions.

Waymo's autonomous vehicles are equipped with a suite of sensors, including lidar, radar, and cameras, which enable them to perceive their surroundings and navigate safely. The company has developed sophisticated algorithms for perception, decision-making, and control to enable its vehicles to operate autonomously in a variety of environments and driving conditions.

While Google's autonomous vehicle efforts have primarily been under the Waymo brand, it's worth noting that Google has also been involved in other automotive-related projects, such as Android Auto, a platform that integrates Android smartphones with vehicle infotainment systems to provide navigation, entertainment, and communication features while driving. Additionally, Google has worked on mapping technologies that are crucial for autonomous driving applications.
