Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Waymo comes up
Building an Autonomous Delivery Experience with DoorDash Co-Founders Andy Fang and Stanley Tang
- ▶ 8:23 Stanley Tang And, and I think, I mean, fast forward like seven, eight years later, I think we're seeing everything starting to play out in AI and robotics and autonomy, seeing Waymo's happening. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 22:05 Stanley Tang It really feels like, uh, Waymo San Francisco.
- ▶ 36:00 Stanley Tang Um, you see kind of now with, especially with AI, like Waymo's kind of made that breakthrough. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 46:07 Stanley Tang Waymo's like sidewalk robots.
AI, R2 and the Future of Everyday Driving | Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe
- ▶ 8:25 Sarah Guo It's you, it's Tesla, it's Waymo.
- ▶ 21:34 RJ Scaringe We're going to go, you know, not as heavy as let's say a Waymo on perception, but heavier than let's say Tesla to build a really robust data platform on a vehicle by vehicle basis.
NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang on Reasoning Models, Robotics, and Refuting the “AI Bubble” Narrative
- ▶ 47:24 Jensen Huang And even, even the very earliest days of, of, uh, Weibo. 3 times in the scene
No Priors Ep. 144 | The 2026 AI Forecast with Sarah & Elad
No Priors Ep. 140 | With Benchling Co-Founder and CEO Sajith Wickramasekara
- ▶ 19:19 Sajith Wickramasekara Like, I kind of think of it as like a Waymo versus Tesla approach, where you can, you can do the Waymo approach to autonomy. 3 times in the scene
No Priors Ep. 119 | With Applied Intuition's Qasar Younis and Peter Ludwig
- ▶ 5:43 Elad Gil It's Waymo, which is a subsidiary of Google, and then Tesla.
- ▶ 25:00 Qasar Younis And you know, the Waymo stuff is super impressive, but it is worth putting an asterisk. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 27:36 Qasar Younis Like, they're already, uh, certainly Waymo, if you just, like, you use, uh, proxy metrics, like, mean time to disengagement. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 32:49 Qasar Younis Waymo will continue to expand cities. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 40:21 Qasar Younis Uh, and I think, like, that type of AI experience is, I think, is more fundamentally important than even just getting, you know, Waymo going, or just getting out to, because that's the hidden part of the economy.
No Priors Ep. 107 | With Physical Intelligence Co-Founder Chelsea Finn
- ▶ 22:21 Elad Gil On the, uh, technical capability side, one thing I was wondering about a little bit was, uh, if I look at the world of self-driving, there's a few different approaches that are being taken, and one of the approaches that is the more kind…
- ▶ 26:13 Chelsea Finn That makes me optimistic, and I think that also, like, all the results in self-driving have been very encouraging, especially, like, the number of Waymo's that I see in San Francisco. 2 times in the scene
No Priors Ep 106 | With GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke
- ▶ 18:49 Thomas Dohmke The, it works for Waymo in San Francisco and it doesn't work for Waymo, uh, all the way down to SFO to San Jose yet. 2 times in the scene
No Priors Ep. 104 | With Flagship Pioneering CEO and Co-Founder Noubar Afeyan
- ▶ 26:07 Noubar Afeyan Run them, collect data, interpret the data, generate hypotheses, and just do science the way Waymo drives cars. 2 times in the scene
No Priors Ep. 102 | With The Bot Company CEO Kyle Vogt
- ▶ 3:28 Elad Gil There's sort of the Waymo approach, which is much heavier on the hardware side in terms of what's actually on the vehicle.
- ▶ 6:26 Kyle Vogt Um, I'm sure Waymo makes custom chips and sort of piecing together things from the supply chain to solve that is a little challenging. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 8:55 Kyle Vogt Cruise and Waymo probably started off pretty close to that.
- ▶ 15:05 Elad Gil How much of what you did at, um, or that people have learned at places like Cruise or Waymo or others is also useful in the context of home robots.
- ▶ 18:08 Elad Gil Um, and one could argue that the end winners of the things that actually somehow worked in the market were two incumbents, Tesla and Waymo, uh, Cruise, uh, slash GM, and then maybe to a secondary extent applied to tuition, which is…
- ▶ 29:38 Kyle Vogt Companies like Waymo are growing or are expanding, I think much more slowly than they should based on the merits and the safety of their technology.
No Priors Ep. 100 | With Sarah and Elad
No Priors Ep. 95 | Best of 2024
No Priors Ep. 87 | With Co-CEO of Waymo Dmitri Dolgov
- ▶ 0:07 Sarah Guo Today we're hanging out with Dmitry Dolgov, Co-CEO of Waymo. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 2:02 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, it was a small group of us, uh, and then that grew into what now is Waymo, uh, when we started the company, uh, in the very beginning of 2017. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 5:56 Dmitri Dolgov Those are the Pacific, uh, minivans, um, with the fourth generation of the Waymo hardware suite, and we deployed those, uh, uh, in a full autonomous mode in Arizona, in Chandler, and we actually opened it up 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 6:37 Dmitri Dolgov And then at that point, we made the decision to jump to what, you know, we now call the fifth generation of the Waymo Driver.
- ▶ 11:27 Dmitri Dolgov Yeah, help us, uh, improve and kind of train, uh, the, the Waymo AI, the Waymo driver, and then it funnels into what we call validation and evaluation. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 11:27 Dmitri Dolgov Yeah, help us, uh, improve and kind of train, uh, the, the Waymo AI, the Waymo driver, and then it funnels into what we call validation and evaluation.
- ▶ 12:10 Dmitri Dolgov So we published some of that, you know, very recently, uh, on what we call the Safety Hub.
- ▶ 14:24 Elad Gil You have your generation five driver that seems to be quite performant.
- ▶ 15:35 Elad Gil We, we had, um, Andrej Karparathy on our podcast a couple weeks ago, and he sort of contrasted what he viewed as the Tesla approach, which was more, in his view, sort of software-driven to the, um, BMO approach, which was more sort of… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 19:15 Dmitri Dolgov Now that we have, you know, cracked the nut of the driver and the valuation, we can answer that question with data, right? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 21:34 Sarah Guo Waymo is looking at scale and, um, probably more about the business. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 22:14 Dmitri Dolgov We're building a generalizable Waymo driver, right? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 28:39 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, in fact, uh, just, uh, in the last couple of days, we, uh, announced, um, uh, something that we're doing where we are incentivizing people to take Waymos in, uh, the cities where we operate to public transit hubs, and then, you know,…
- ▶ 29:25 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, if, you know, it's the Waymo driver, it's all about the, the rider experience. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 30:50 Dmitri Dolgov Uh, we do, we do increasingly have, you know, team members calling into meetings from Waymos.
- ▶ 31:55 Dmitri Dolgov So we've always, you know, our playbook has been to, uh, you know, go about it responsibly and gradually and earn trust every step of the way and have this transparent dialogue. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 33:05 Elad Gil So you mentioned you're building a general purpose driver that could potentially port into other types of vehicles. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 34:55 Sarah Guo There were, uh, there are many other teams who actually, you know, have some lineage in the, like, you know, Waymo, Shuffer, Google, um, programs that chose a use case that looked like it was going to be easier. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 40:16 Sarah Guo Is it the right way to think of the, um, the iteration cycle for Waymo now still like many other AI companies where in eval some, some set of cases comes up that you don't handle as well as you want, and then you collect more data and you…
No Priors Ep. 80 | With Andrej Karpathy from OpenAI and Tesla
- ▶ 1:10 Andrej Karpathy So Waymo in San Francisco here is, of course, very common. 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 3:27 Elad Gil Because obviously to your point, if you look at a Waymo car, it has a lot of very expensive LiDAR and other sort of sensors built into the car so it can do what it does. 2 times in the scene
No Priors Ep. 4 | With Zipline’s Keller Rinaudo Cliffton
- ▶ 26:05 Keller Rinaudo Cliffton And then there was like the Waymo approach of we're going to build a fully autonomous car.
