Guided by the flow: The role of aerodynamics in shaping the Waymo Driver

May 2 2023
It's essential to understand the aerodynamics of the different vehicle platforms on which Waymo's autonomous driving technology is applied to build and operate an efficient system – especially when running at full capacity in various conditions such as rain, fog, snow, or extreme temperatures. By using physical tests and state-of-the-art simulation tools, we can optimize energy use, improve sensor performance, and build a safe, stable, scaleable autonomous Driver.
