Today is such a proud milestone for our @Waymo team as we launch our first-ever national brand campaign. And awesome to have it air during the first US World Cup game tonight in LA!!! 🇺🇸 🇵🇾 ⚽
With this campaign, we want to open up a conversation about who we are doing this for... It's about our riders, the drivers with whom we share the road, cyclists, pedestrians, and the communities we serve. We build this technology and grow this service not because humans aren’t enough, but because to us, they’re everything.
This campaign is an invitation to connect with our mission on a deeper, more human level. And as we look to the future, we want to hear from you: raise your hand and let us know where you want to see the Waymo Driver next.
🤩 A massive thank you to our phenomenal team for bringing this vision to life with so much creativity, care, heart, and sleepless nights. 😍 💚 💙 Watch the film below and let me know your thoughts. 👇

"Kinda like riding in a @Waymo where you don't have to do anything but sit in the back seat, because the car drives very well by itself" 😂

"This isn’t about replacing drivers; it’s about testing how AVs can work in a city like ours and putting Albany on the map as a place that leads rather than waits."

Waymo's Perception system, which uses lidar, radar, and camera, sees even in extreme lighting conditions. If the headlights on this car were to go out, we would still detect all the people. Check out this side by side of a camera image and our detections overlaid on top.
