Waymo to Use Google's Gemini for Enhanced Autonomous Driving with EMMA, No LIDAR
Oct 30, 2024, 08:21 PM
Waymo is set to integrate Google's Gemini, a multimodal large language model developed by Google DeepMind, to enhance its autonomous driving technology. The integration aims to improve safety, environmental impact, and human interactions. Waymo's latest research paper, EMMA, showcases an end-to-end multimodal model for autonomous driving that leverages world knowledge. Notably, Waymo has trained EMMA using only cameras, without relying on LIDAR technology. This development highlights Waymo's strategic advantage in AI research and its long-standing ties with Google's DeepMind. Cath Virginia from The Verge reported on this development, and Brian Wilt, the lead on Waymo's data, expressed excitement over the publication of EMMA.
