As someone who’s visually impaired and can’t drive, this makes me so excited! Hopefully within a decade I’ll be able to get a completely self driving car that’s commercially available

I get it. I understand this. I’ve been ready for this to happen. But it is WILD AF to see it in action like this.

You know you in LA when you exit the car at 6:01 and it instantly go from soft music to sirens 😭 even the car was like "yea get out I gotta get outta here, tip me on the app"

The light changed to amber…..interesting…we call it yellow in my neck of the woods

This was waymo than I thought it would be 😏

I never thought I'd be around to see the beginning of Delamain😂

I have experienced Waymo in Phoenix and agree the ride was very smooth. Also the cost was very similar to lyft and uber, cheaper even since you don't need to tip.

I drive these roads all the time. Not the worst roads to drive, but enough regular traffic that it's not super simple and completely relaxed driving either. Pretty impressive for a driverless vehicle.

working on cars for half of my life, I cant wait to not drive anymore

Waymo was my main rideshare in San Francisco for a few days and I’m ready to never have another awkward Uber conversation again

I’ve ridden in a Waymo twice, in Phoenix. Both rides were amazing and just like you said in the video, very smooth it handled situations very well. No issues at all and like you experienced, I became very comfortable within minutes of the ride starting. Before my first Waymo ride, I was nervous and excited at the same time but after experiencing Waymo, all the nervous feelings went away. I will definitely use Waymo it again, hopefully many times.

amazing... I cant wait to see how this will evolve within the next 5 years...

I have dreames of this and i’m so happy it’s happening right now. Mabe in the future we don’t have to own a car. This could solve many problems in cities. Future is now.

Great video Lew, with a genuine use and reaction. It's crazy that this is happening.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'M READYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Great video tho. It was great to see the vehicle in action!

Uber's gonna be pissed

I literally just had one of these things come through my parking lot lol. I dont know if it just dropped someone off and was then just conducting a 3 point turn, to get back to the street. But it pulled in next to my car, reversed, then departed up the street. Now im shocked to know that this damn thing was driving itself! what a time to be alive, man!

This is wild!!! 🎉❤ Thanks for bringing us along.

It brought back my memory of using first escalator. Within 2 days I felt that pretty normal.

I hate driving, can't wait for this.

I’ve ridden in Wayne’s in Phoenix a lot of times and every time the drive is always very smooth and without any issue. I prefer them over normal ubers. The only thing is they take a more conservative route like side roads, they also drive the speed limit and do not speed so it can take a little longer to get to your destination than a normal uber.

Thanks for the video, i look forward to it coming to NYC.

I was lucky to be able to experience this in San Francisco last year. Core memory for sure.

Last time I saw a Waymo video in California there was a gang of people kicking it and setting it on fire.

Lew, That is impressive technology. I guess the only "flaw" is what idiots driving other vehicles might attempt. Cheers, Rik Spector

I hope Los Angeleans can be nicer to Waymo than San Franciscans have been recently!

Love Waymo. It's my go to when bar hopping with friends in AZ

My guy, you forgot your seatbelts

Just a mind-blowing experience, love it 😍😴💖

the music option is great stuff👍

Crazy how far we have come with Tech! Thanks for the video.

We could not imagine that this could happen one day

The future, the final form of these is when cars on the road can talk to each other. That's the end of pile-ups on the interstate.

lmao, perfect timing for this 😂❤

This is what a proper self-driving vehicle should be.

I'm surprised the system would leave the pickup point without the passenger fastening their seatbelt. In many locations, seatbelt usage is mandatory.

"I didn't run a red light, officer! My car did it!"

I just really hope that they make driveless cars that we can buy and own instead of just using them for taxis. It would really help us all who don’t have our drivers license. I really want to have self driving car that I can own so I can go anywhere I want without having to pay. Hopefully they make that in the future so we all can get around more easier

That was more interesting & cool than I expected.

The car lengths won me over. I've always dreamt about traffic technology that could do this.

Do you officially end the trip after getting out of the car? "Come back Waymo! My duffle's in the trunk"!

Taking waymos are som much fun in sf. Can't wait for them to expand!

Enters the vehicle, “Welcome to Waymo”…(death metal music plays)… “Better buckle up, you’ll need it”

Waymo's autonomous cars have been operating in the West Los Angeles area for roughly a year, and despite this, their driverless presence continues to trip me out. On another note, this video has reinforced my need for a Pocket 3 camera for run and gun footage. It produces quality that is quite satisfactory for this kind of video content.

When this becomes a regular feature in all cars it’s going to change the world. I think people will use their cars a lot more if they can just kick back and watch TV while they get chauffeured. And people might just take a bunch of joy rides and tours around the city when they’re bored. And you could easily take a trip somewhere 1000 miles away, just get in watch some movies, take a nap, and you’re there. And I think everyone will want bigger spacious cars, so they have lots of room to move around and relax while they’re getting driven. It’s going to change everything

Now I would pay 10k for this option...Because it works! Not 10k for something to be unlocked that kinda, sorta, maybe works.

First time seeing you outside ❤❤

AKA San Fran Molotov cocktail.

This made me miss Lew Later even more. More of these meditations on tech!

Not a homeless tent in sight. Amazing.

9:10 I wonder how far ahead and how well it could anticipate a red light runner and how it reacts.

Glad that they didn’t set the car on fire with you inside.

Sumn tells me this is gonna be Waymo than an Uber 😅

I want to see how the sensors would react in places where you get snow or sleet like Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.

Every time it rains, the fleet is shutdown.

With all the LIDAR modules on the car, it looks rather Cyberpunk, which might explain some of the asymmetrical and "external additions" to some of the cars in Cyberpunk 2077. Now I know the cars in Cyberpunk 2077 don't "drive" you around except for the Delamains, but they do have an Auto Recall function to get to you no matter what street or road you are on. It's safe to assume they can safely pilot themselves to your location no matter the distance.

This is a good example for how perplexing it is that Tesla removed sensors when it's trying to implement "full self driving". I honestly think Tesla would be waayyy further along than they are if they had kept the additional sensors

what a cool video!!! thanks for posting!!!!

Now they only need custom made vehicles.❤😮

Waymo going big on sponsoring big youtube channels.

The steerwheel is useless. They'll have to redesisn these vehicles specific for this activity. A lot of things can be tweaked in there geared towards security, ease of use for riders. This should be easy to do. Most important is navigation.

Before you even said anything I was looking at it thinking damn that looks like a jag 😂😂

Wow, I was talking to techie friends and they convinced me that Driverless vehicles being mainstream was not in this lifetime. I don’t know. I think this is impressive.

No wayyyy wow, now LOU WHERE IS THE S24 VIDEO.

Driverless cars before GTA6

and on 2/10 in san francisco, a crowd burnt one of their self driving car down....

The future is NOW.

Are you still here? My buddy works for programming them in real time!

🚗🌟 Waymo has truly redefined the game with their groundbreaking technology! 🌐

Back in 2021 I took a Waymo with my little brother. The car got stuck for a moment trying to merge into a right lane. That lane is to turn into a Walmart parking lot. Well, a car was a bit further out than they should’ve been and the Waymo just sat there for a moment. I also noticed it BARELY made any left turns. It kept taking right turns to avoid all left. The only left it took was in my neighborhood.

The car driving it off by itself wouldve tripped me out

Clicks video. Gets sense of deja vu. Checks upload time. 11 hours ago... Voice inside my head: "Do you really want to do this?.. youve been burnt before." Me: *clicks play* "Self-driving revolution all the way baby!"

This just adds to how marvelous our brain is......

This is so awesome

Wow that was impressive!!

You should try the Mercedes L3 autonomous driving too.

I still love this channel

Awesome!!!

Meanwhile at waymo headquarters there are professional drivers controlling the car.

Amazing Tech!!! So Speechless!!! 🖐🏻😨🖐🏻

Am I the only one who who thought it was weird he said "Amber" instead of yellow? 😅 5:17

Well now we can actually make a nice ghost driving scene in an horror movie lol😂

closer to the future

A human driver would've anticipated the lights going to red based on how long they had been green for and started to prepare to brake as a consequence.

I take these all the time in SF and they're amazing for dates :D

For someone that hates driving this is a dream please robot lady take me home

This is wild! What if it cuts someone off and the other driver wants to cuss it out? And then there’s no one in the car? What about the law? Are officers ready to deal with this? What about malfunctions? They just made Tesla’s look archaic😂😂😂

This technology makes me believe that driving is soon going to become a purely recreational activity. If self driving keeps progressing it will soon be safer than having drivers on the road. Eventually driverless cars will have subscription services and we won’t even need to buy cars except to take to the track.

It's just yellow dude. Amber isn't in the rainbow of colors.😂

Very cool. I assume the cost for the ride is similar to an Uber or taxi? A key feature would certainly be the 360 sensing and viewing. That makes it better than human, right there.

If most cars are self-driving, I would assume they could go much faster. If I can just snooze in the back, I don't think I'm flying. Even if it takes longer, you get in the car at your house and get out at the destination.

Curious how come no unboxing on the OnePlus 12? Hope your haven fun L.A. Much luv from San Diego!

would like to see how that car run properly on Jakarta chaos roads

Imagine someone trying to steal a driverless car as it stops at a red light...

once i see this successfully drive around south Florida then maybe I'm convinced

I work on these so it's weird to see one of my favorite youtubers make a video on it lol

Anyone else notice he never had his seatbelt on?

Not me looking up waymo on UKposts and seeing 30 videos on how yesterday a waymo car was set on fire 💀

now the real test would be putting these self driving cars in very high density cities like Boston or New York :O

5:15 this is the first time I've heard somebody call a yellow traffic light amber
