Waymo Co-founder Says Tesla Has An Advantage In Race To Autonomous Driving: 'I'd Rather Be In Tesla's Shoes Than In Waymo's Shoes'

Waymo Co-founder Says Tesla Has An Advantage In Race To Autonomous Driving: 'I'd Rather Be In Tesla's Shoes Than In Waymo's Shoes'

Waymo聯合創始人表示,特斯拉在自動駕駛競賽中具有優勢:「我寧願站在特斯拉的立場,也不願站在Waymo的立場。」

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) subsidiary Waymo's co-founder Anthony Levandowski is more optimistic about Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) self-driving vision over Waymo's given the EV giant's wealth of data.

Alphabet Inc.(納斯達克:GOOG)(納斯達克:GOOGL)子公司Waymo的聯合創始人安東尼·萊萬多夫斯基對特斯拉公司(納斯達克:TSLA)的自動駕駛願景更爲樂觀,認爲這家電動汽車巨頭擁有豐富的數據。

What Happened: "There's millions of Teslas out there that are constantly alerting, feeding back their data to Tesla to make the product better, and that's ultimately what's really going to be the differentiator here — that you have the richest, most consistent data to continuously improve over time," Levandowski said in an interview with Business Insider.

發生了什麼:"全世界有數百萬輛特斯拉不斷警覺地將數據反饋給特斯拉,以改進產品,這最終將是真正的差異化因素--您擁有最豐富,最連續的數據,能夠隨着時間不斷改進,"萊萬多斯基在接受彭博商業週刊採訪時表示。

"I'd rather be in Tesla's shoes than in Waymo's shoes."

"我寧願身處特斯拉的位置,也不願身處Waymo的位置。"

Tesla uses camera footage from its existing fleet of vehicles to train its software aimed at enabling autonomous driving. Tesla's fleet is significantly large and operates across the country as compared to Waymo which is only operating vehicles in a select few cities within the U.S. such as Phoenix and San Francisco.

特斯拉利用現有車隊的攝像頭錄像來訓練旨在實現自動駕駛的軟件。與Waymo相比,特斯拉的車隊規模相當龐大,遍佈全國,而Waymo只在美國的幾個城市,如鳳凰城和舊金山,運營車輛。

Tesla, therefore, likely has much more data than Waymo across scenarios of driving to train its tech, the Waymo co-founder opined.

因此,特斯拉很可能擁有比Waymo更豐富的駕駛場景數據來訓練技術,Waymo的聯合創始人認爲。

Why It Matters: Tesla unveiled its dedicated robotaxi offerings last week at an event in Los Angeles. The company unveiled two products – a two-seater Cybercab and a 20-seater Robovan with no steering wheels or pedals. The Cybercab, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, will enter production "before 2027."

爲什麼它重要:特斯拉上週在洛杉磯的一次活動中推出了其專用的無人出租車產品。該公司推出了兩款產品--一款兩座位的Cybercab和一款無方向盤或踏板的20座位Robovan。特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克表示,Cybercab將在"2027年之前"投入生產。

Waymo, meanwhile, already operates robotaxis in select cities. The company deploys its sensor suite on vehicles manufactured by other automakers, such as Jaguar vehicles, for use as robotaxis, which by itself is a cost-extensive process.

與此同時,Waymo已在幾個城市運營無人出租車。該公司在其他汽車製造商生產的車輛上部署其傳感器套件,如捷豹車輛,用作無人出租車,這本身是一個成本高昂的過程。

"You probably need to buy a car company to be able to produce the cars that you want," Levandowski reportedly said regarding Waymo. He left Waymo in 2016 after co-founding it in 2009.

"你可能需要買入一家汽車公司,才能生產您想要的汽車,"據報道,萊萬多斯基關於Waymo如是說道。他於2009年共同創立Waymo,2016年離開了該公司。
