Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Waymo comes up
The history and future of AI at Google, with Sundar Pichai
- ▶ 12:38 John Collison You know, Google has up and down the stack, whether it be applications, or models, or TPUs, or whatever, um, as well as, you know, Waymo, and YouTube, and all the cool bets. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 26:28 Sundar Pichai We are doing this with Waymo, right? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 36:11 Elad Gil From a ownership perspective, you know, you own a reasonable amount of SpaceX, I think, I don't know the exact amount, but I think it was tennis percent way back when, Anthropic, tennis percent, the majority of Waymo, which is like an… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 42:23 John Collison We can give the Waymo team more funding so that they can actually get to market faster or scale up faster, or we can invest in this new AI approach that might, you know, pay off in five years time. 10 times in the scene
- ▶ 46:03 Sundar Pichai I think it's to do with that, some kind of quantified, you look at the Waymo driver, that's underlying technology, which, you know, how does the software drive the car?
- ▶ 50:07 Sundar Pichai For example, if Waymo had reached this point earlier, I think I would have invested the capital earlier. 3 times in the scene
The 20-year journey to fully autonomous cars with Dmitri Dolgov of Waymo
- ▶ 0:02 John Collison Dmitry Dalgov is co-CEO of Waymo. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 3:06 John Collison Do you want to maybe just describe, when I take a ride in Away Mode today, what's happening at a technical level?
- ▶ 3:24 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, and if we want to have, uh, a deeper, richer technical conversation, it might think it would be interesting also to zoom out and talk about kind of the entire ecosystem of what goes into building, evaluating, and deploying the Waymo… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 7:15 Dmitri Dolgov Because, uh, the way we think about the, you know, building the Waymo driver, um, it starts with a large off-board foundation model. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 10:24 John Collison You know, could you, knowing what you know now, could you have a successful Waymo in market in 2015, or was there some enabling technology?
- ▶ 23:26 John Collison But it feels, I feel like the general sentiment with Waymo is that 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 25:20 Dmitri Dolgov Increasingly we're finding, especially, you know, now that we're able to kind of hook the Waymo AI to the, uh, AI in the digital world and the VLMs and kind of inherit the general world knowledge from VLMs. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 26:43 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, we usually think about it, you know, the capability of the Waymo driver, as well as deployment, not primarily and directly, you know, in that space of, you know, cities or zip codes. 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 29:39 John Collison As we're seeing with Waymo rolling out widespread autonomy, it has second order changes on the entire system.
- ▶ 31:29 John Collison It's obviously, it's, it's a small improvement compared to, you know, Waymo is the big improvement, but it's just interesting that it still hasn't happened. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 31:35 Dmitri Dolgov Well, let's say our sixth generation of the vehicle and the driver, uh, is our version of that. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 41:02 Dmitri Dolgov Just, you know, go be, you know, uh, getting to a place where any major, you know, metropolitan area, you can fly into the airport and then take a Waymo and go anywhere you want to go.
- ▶ 48:28 John Collison What do you think that working your way up from the lower levels versus working your way expanding from existing products like Waymo? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 51:17 John Collison And so can you describe just what the operational infrastructure that sits behind Waymo looks like? 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 55:38 Dmitri Dolgov And this is where, you know, a personally owned vehicle that is equipped with the Waymo driver is maybe, you know, how you will see it materialized.
- ▶ 58:07 John Collison Uh, again, it feels like, um, right now Waymo is, aside from everything else, AI related, kind of the most exciting thing happening at, uh, Google.
Ramp founder Eric Glyman on the many ways AI is changing corporate spending
- ▶ 26:55 Alex Rampell So we have this amazing thing called Waymo. 2 times in the scene
How to build a $16B car company with RJ Scaringe, founder of Rivian
- ▶ 41:16 John Collison I feel like the big debate that plays out, um, in the public, uh, realm on this stuff is basically the Waymo versus Tesla approaches of more sensors on Waymos versus fewer sensors on Tesla, and Elon's been quite dismissive of LiDAR. 3 times in the scene
Marc Andreessen and Charlie Songhurst on the past, present, and future of Silicon Valley
- ▶ 1:08:26 John Collison And presumably you're concerned about more of that, like everyone was making fun of the Boston City Council, uh, you know, objecting to Waymo and, you know, maybe voting to preserve driving jobs and everything like that, uh,
