The system autonomously controlled full-size vehicles in complex public traffic, producing high autonomy and moderate control difficulty. Employee-only access and a bounded service area constrained deployment and misuse.
News tied to Waymo Driver 5th generation
The model score of 46.4 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 66.8 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.
