INDUSTRY.
>> ALL RIGHT GREAT STUFF FROM
CHEDDAR
CANNABIZ REPORTER CHLOE AIELLO
BRING US THE LATEST FROM THE
STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS WHEN
IT COMES TO ALL THINGS CANNABIS
AND A PINK BASEBALL.
>> AND WE DO HAVE A MORE FOR
YOU FROM C E S WAYMO IS LEADING
THE WAY THAT
IS DRIVING CELEBRATING THE
MILESTONE OF 20 MILLION MILES
DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS, A VERY
OWN HOPE KING, YOU SAT DOWN
WITH DEBBIE HERSMAN THE CHIEF
SAFETY OFFICER
AT WAY WELL FOR MORE ON THE
COMPANY'S TESTING GROUNDS AND
SAFETY PLANS IN 2020.
>> DEBBIE THANKS SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US. IT'S GREAT TO BE
WITH YOU KNOW AND A MILESTONE
20 MILLION MILES ON PUBLIC
ROADS, WHAT'S GOTTEN AWAY
WITH IT. OH MY GOSH A LOT OF
HARD WORK BY A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT ONE
OF THEM MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
WITH 20 MILLION MILES IS WHAT
WE'VE LEARNED AND THOSE
20 MILLION MILES I WOULD SAY
THAT YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT
WE DO SIMULATIONS STRUCTURE
TESTING BUT ON ROAD MILES WE
SEE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD NOT C
AND SIMULATION AND WITH THAT WE
WOULDN'T OTHER LIFE OTHERWISE
LEARN ABOUT SO LET ME JUST GIVE
YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF THOSE
YOU KNOW USUALLY LOOK LOWER
SPEED ROAD LIKE 25 MILE PER
HOUR AND YOU SAY OH HOW FAST
WILL PEOPLE GO
PLUS OR MINUS 1020 30 MILES AN
HOUR WE'VE SEEN IN REAL WORLD
PEOPLE GOING 90 MILES AN HOUR.
WE'VE SEEN
PEOPLE CARRYING THE STOP SIGNS
ON A BICYCLE WHICH YOU KNOW HOW
YOU HOW DOES THE CAR RECOGNIZE
A STOP
SIGN AND OUR HEARTS
SUCCESSFULLY RECOGNIZE THIS WAS
A HUMAN BEING DURING A BY A
STOP SIGN AND DIDN'T STOP FOR
DONE SO WE SEE SOME CRAZY
THINGS OUT THERE ON THE
ROADWAYS BUT THINGS THAT WE ARE
EXPECTED TO REACT AND RESPOND
TO APPROPRIATELY AND SO THOSE
ON ROAD MILES ARE SUPER
VALUABLE RIGHT TO YOUR POINT
YOU CAN NOT ANTICIPATE EVERY
RANDOM ACT
OF IT.
>> TRANSPORTATION RIGHT WHETHER
THAT MIGHT BE A PERCEPTION A
FUNCTIONING OR SOMEBODY LIKE
YOU SAID THAT THE STOP SIGN
THERE
CARRYING SO TRANSLATE TRAINING
SAFETY FROM THAT RESPECTED AS
PARENTS ARE JUST MILES TO A
COMPUTER BASE.
>> AND YES, SO IT'S A REALLY AN
IMPORTANT THING TO THINK
THROUGH HOW DO
YOU MEAN THE METAL LOGICALLY
REALLY APPROACH THIS AND YOU
NEED TO DO IT SYSTEMICALLY NEED
TO BUILD A
MEASURE IT WE NEED TO BE ABLE
TO EVALUATE IT AND SO THE GOOD
NEWS IS THERE'S SAFETY
SENSITIVE INDUSTRIES THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED AVIATION. YOU KNOW
NUCLEAR AND SO WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO LOOK AT IT JUST
COMPONENT SAFETY SYSTEM STATE
THE END OF VALUE A THOSE THINGS
THROUGH
THESE INDUSTRIES THAT ARE VERY
MATURE, BEES ARE NEW AND SO
SOME OF THE THINGS
WE'RE LOOKING I HAVE NEVER BEEN
MEASURED BEFORE NEVER BEEN
EVALUATED BEFORE IT SO WE'RE
REALLY
HAVING TO CREATE SOME OF THAT
THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE AND 10
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF OUR
PROGRAM TAUGHT US A LOT,
I MEAN HANDS ON YOUR GUYS YOU
GUYS ARE THE LEADER AND A LOT
OF PRESSURE TO
♪
SET SORT THE BAR FOR THE
STANDARD OF SAFETY, YOU KNOW
WHAT I WOULD SAY. YOU KNOW JUST
LIKE
FIRST FIGHTER YOU KNOW WITH YOU
KNOW POWER,
IT'S GREAT RESPONSIBILITY AND I
THINK FOR US WE HAVE A GREAT
RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD THE
INDUSTRY AND I THINK
ARE MEASURED ROCHE THE SLOW
ROLLOUT TAKING A STEP BY STEP
OF INCREASING MILES PULLING THE
SAFETY DRIVER,
PROVIDING FULLY DRIVERLESS
RIDES TO OUR USERS AND ALL OF
THAT
IS DEMONSTRATING HOW TO BUILD
CONFIDENCE FOR PEOPLE HOW DO
YOU DEFINE SAFETY AT WAYMO WHEN
♪
THERE ARE.
>> A LITTLE HICCUP ALONG THE
WAY SMALL ONES UNFORTUNATELY
THAT'S TRUE THAT AS WELL ALONG
THIS JOURNEY, BUT IN WAYMO'S
YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT IS
SAFETY.
>> YES, SO I THINK SEE ANOTHER
COMPANY EXPERIENCE SAID
♪
FATALITY. IT WAS A REALLY
IMPORTANT THING FOR ALL OF US,
BUT.
IT'S IT'S A LEARNING THING IT'S
RECOGNIZING THAT WE ALL HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPROVE.
THAT'S WHY
WE EXIST WE ARE HERE BECAUSE
SAFETY IS REALLY ABOUT THAT.
>> NORTH STAR FOR US AS A
COMPANY. WE
THINK THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS THE
ABILITY AS AS WE ROLL IT OUT
RESPONSIBLY TO REALLY ELIMINATE
THOSE COMMON CAUSES OF HUMAN
ERROR AND MAKE OUR
ROADWAYS SAFER. WE DON'T GET
DISTRACTED. WE DON'T GET
IMPAIRED. WE DON'T GET THAT
HEAT AND SO THOSE ARE THE
PRIMARY CAUSES OF HUMAN CRASHES
ABSOLUTELY SO DO YOU MEASURE
SAFETY SUCCESS RATES OF NO
ACCIDENTS HER MILLION MILES PER
100,000 MILES AND MEAN WHAT DO
YOU USE AS A GAUGE TO SEE HOW
YOU ARE DOING AS YOU GO ALONG
THE NEXT 10 MILLION PLUS MILES
YES, SO WE ACTUALLY
HAVE A VARIETY OF THINGS THAT
WE MEASURE CERTAINLY WE LOOK AT
RATES WE LOOK AT PERFORMANCE OF
OUR CARS IN IN ENVIRONMENTS
IN SEARCH AND YOU
KNOW SITUATIONS LIKE ROAD RULES
WE LOOK YOU KNOW THE CRASHES
AND THINGS LIKE
THAT, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE
REALLY DON'T HAVE WE HAVE A
REALLY GOOD RECORD AT THIS
POINT 20 MILLION MILES WE'VE
DONE A LOT OF DRIVING AND WHAT
WE'RE SEEING IS THAT OUR SAFETY
PREDICTIONS ARE REALLY BEING
MORE NOW ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
OF OUR SYSTEM
WHAT WE HAVE TO MEASURE
MULTIPLE THINGS WE DON'T JUST
RELY ON ONE MEASUREMENT TO TELL
US WE'RE SAFE
TO GO. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
EACH OF THE COMPONENTS ARE SAFE
THAT THE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
LEVEL THAT THEY'RE SAFE AND
THAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW
PERFORMANCE WERE OPERATING
24 7 YEAH IN THE CHANDLER IN
THE PHOENIX AREA AND SO DAY
NIGHT. ALL CONDITIONS WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE SAFE RIGHT IN SHOULD
THERE BE A STANDARD ACROSS THE
BOARD, YOU KNOW AS THE GOAL LAW
WHERE EVERYONE
AGREES THAT WE'RE GOING TO
FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES.
YOU KNOW THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION JUST RELEASED.
BEFORE POINT NOW WHICH IS
THEIR GUIDELINES AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLES AND WHAT THEY REALLY
SAID IS THEY ENCOURAGE
COMPANIES TO CONTINUE
TO INNOVATE AND REALLY LOOK AT
ROLLING OUT THIS TECHNOLOGY
RESPONSIBLY AND I THINK EVERY
RESPONSIBLE COMPANY HAS TO PUT
SAFETY FIRST AND IT SURE AS
THEY'RE MAKING THESE DECISIONS
TO FIX AND IN ROW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING AND FOR US AT WAYMO IT
WILL BE SCALING THAT SERVICE
THAT FULLY
DRIVERLESS SERVICE WE'RE GOING
TO DO VERY THOUGHTFULLY I LOVE
TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE THERE
ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
PROBLEMS FROM.
>> DIFFERENT AREAS RIGHT, IT'S
NOT JUST THE CARTS NOT
PROTECTED PERSON, IT'S ALSO YOU
KNOW THE ROAD TO THE
INFRASTRUCTURE YOU THINK WE
HAVE THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE
IN PLACE RIGHT NOW TO ENABLE
THE MOST I GUESS SCHOOL AND
THE SAFEST WAY FORWARD TO A
TIME OF THIS WRITING AT WAYMO
AND YOU KNOW EVERY COMPANY IS
DIFFERENT BUT A WAYMO WE'VE
REALLY HAVE EVERYTHING THAT WE
NEED TO NAVIGATE SAFELY.
>> ON BOARD
THE VEHICLE. WE DON'T NEED
EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS, WE
DON'T NEED CONDUCTIVITY AND
WE'RE WE'RE REALLY RELYING.
>> ON
OUR CAR.
>> UNDERSTANDING THE APARTMENT
WHAT DO I SEE YOU KNOW WHAT DO
I DO AND REALLY AND YOU KNOW OF
AL YOU EATING
THAT ENVIRONS IT'S AN YOU'VE
EXPERIENCED IT AND SO SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT
ARE OUT YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED
TO HANDLE THOSE SITUATIONS,
SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WEATHER.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE OR
THERE WILL BE A CRASH RIGHT IN
FRONT OF YOU THE CAR HAS TO
RESPON
