Moderation Team
Marc Wimmershoff, our Sr. Director of Planning & Control, and Ekaterina Taralova, Sr. Software Engineer on our Computer Vision team, talk through a 1-hour drive in downtown Las Vegas, sharing insights into how our self-driving technology functions. This drive is 100% autonomous, with full perception output.
You’ll see many complicated scenarios synonymous with dense urban environments, such as airport pickup and drop-off zones, busy 6-lane traffic, hotel pickup zones, thousands of pedestrians, construction zones, plus much more.
One AV stack – scalable for multiple cities and speeds.
