So the first time I looked at that log, I was like, what's going on here?

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

I know we have pretty darn good sensors, and the software is very capable, but we don't see through everything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The a16z Show

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

You know, camera, like you can't see in the camera because, you know, there's reflections and there's people on the bus, so it's not like you can see through the windows.

The a16z Show

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov
