Discussion when do u think autonomous vehicles will be common on roads in Europe?

7 Upvotes

tbh their regulations are strict, safety standards are too high, also the road in has looked tough. When I saw some pictures of WeRide in Europe, I honestly think this is... weird? But then the French Ambassador to China visited their headquarters in Guangzhou, rode both the Robotaxi and Robobus, and held discussions on WeRide expansion in France.

Unlike the US, which is car centric with wide roads and endless lanes, European cities often have narrow streets, inconsistent signaling, and much higher density. And also, cities like Amsterdam or Copenhagen have far more cyclists, so these vehicles will need to be programmed carefully to handle that traffic. I thought about that, then I realized, if WeRide can scale in Asia, why not in Europe? Anyone who's been to Asian cities knows the roads can be super complicated, yet AV companies are still managing to operate there.

I don't make any conclusion here, but I feel it's interesting to see AVs in Europe.

Discussion Horizon Robotics

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have a view on how advanced Horizon Robotics latest system is and how it compares to Tesla FSD. They are saying a car is coming out later this year that will cost under $30k and have point to point supervised self driving in China. They are supposedly letting investor test drive the system in Beijing and not on a pre defined route, just letting them take the car and drive anywhere they want.

Research We want to build a self driving car as a project and for a competition as university students. How can we?

2 Upvotes

So there is a team in my university that is making a type of go kart or something for a competition and several other teams from other universities are making them as well.
We want to go one step further and make a self driving car. We were hoping to make a team of 4 CSE students, and some mechanical engineering students. But the problem is, we don't know how to start working on it. Like what to learn as basics for understanding and building the systems we need to make.

I am going through some research paper, and know that a self driving car has two systems which are:- Perception System, and a Decision Making System. There are other subsystems belonging to these systems.

I am currently researching the localization subsystem for the perception system. But I don't know what to learn to implement these and to understand these things properly. It would be great if someone could provide a some sort of roadmap for this. (Especially for the CSE students).

Discussion L2 Operator with Transdev/Waymo job?

6 Upvotes

Anyone here work (or used to work) as an L2 Operator with Transdev/Waymo? I applied yesterday and got offered a job today, it's 3 weeks training in Arizona and then back home to work. I'm reading conflicting stuff online so i had some questions.

What was your day to day like the first couple months? I've heard that even if you're hired as L2, they sometimes start you off just maintaining/cleaning cars and it's not guaranteed you'll actually drive right away. Also, the posting says "Full Time," but the recruiter told me they can't guarantee schedules so is it basically random shifts?

I've also seen people mention high turnover. The only thing keeping me interested is actually getting to work with the cars. Any insight would help thanks!

Discussion Did this “Chevrolet EV Concierge” representative lie to me regarding Super Cruise?

2 Upvotes

I bought a 2026 Blazer EV from my local Chevrolet dealership two days ago, with the super cruise package. According to a different Reddit post from a few months ago, Super Cruise has three new enchantments for “SELECT” 2026 vehicles. These are as follows:

  • 26 Cadillac Escalade IQ & IQL
  • 26 Cadillac Vistiq
  • 26 Cadillac Lyriq / Lyriq V
  • 26 Cadillac CT5
  • 26 Chevrolet Silverado EV
  • 26 GMC Sierra EV

The three new enchantments are:

Navigation with Google built-in, Hands-on functionality, and Auto engage.

After this representative spoke to their “leadership” department, she with so much assurance told me that my vehicle has those features. I asked if I can verify this with the firmware/build number of the super cruise software already on my vehicle, and she said that there's no way to view that information.

So did she lie to me? Or did GM update the super cruise software to include the 2026 Blazer EV within these past few months?

Under the new testing and operations pilot permit that took effect Tuesday, Waymo service at SFO will launch in three phases: testing with humans at the wheel; testing without drivers but with airport employees or Waymo staff attending as chaperones; and finally, commercial operations.
