Oct 31, 2024, 02:30 PM

Waymo is leveraging Google's Gemini multimodal large language model to enhance the safety and efficiency of its autonomous vehicles. The Gemini AI, developed by Google DeepMind, is being used to train Waymo's robotaxis, aiming to improve their performance by generating future trajectories for autonomous vehicles. Waymo’s new EMMA model, built on Gemini AI, uses sensor data and advanced reasoning for smarter self-driving. Additionally, Google has integrated Gemini AI into Google Maps and Google Earth, introducing a range of new features designed to enhance user exploration and navigation. These updates include AI-summarized reviews, answers to conversational questions, and an expansion of Immersive View to 150 cities. The incorporation of Gemini AI into both Waymo and Google Maps signifies a significant advancement in the application of artificial intelligence to improve transportation and navigation services.
