GPS's Waymo has revealed its latest detection software for autonomous vehicles (AVs), which can track and predict the actions of pedestrians, bikers and road workers. The firm is focusing on creating driverless vehicles that can perceive everyday objects, as well as other AVs and connected infrastructure, to develop a system that is safe even under changeable circumstances. The software uses a combination of LiDAR detection, radar, cameras, Alphabet and audio sensors, which ultimately results in a "defensive driving approach". With over 10 million miles logged by AVs on public roads, Waymo's disengagement rate sits at 0.09 per 1,000 miles driven.
