YooJung Ahn Powering Safe and Easy Transport Robotics

The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver

The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver is an autonomous driving system for vehicles. The system can be applied to multiple vehicle platforms, from cars to trucks, and supports ride-hailing, trucking, local delivery and personal car ownership. Three sensing technologies are combined in the hardware suite: lidar, cameras and radar. Moving LEDs on the 360 degree lidar carry a personal identification symbol, so riders can recognize their vehicle. Sensors are placed to look seamless on the vehicle. The design aims to make transport safer and easier for people and goods.

The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Powering Safe and Easy Transport by YooJung Ahn was featured as a creative representation of service design by the A' Design Awards. The Fifth-Generation Waymo Driver Powering Safe and Easy Transport won the Platinum A' Design Award in Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design in 2021.
