Summary Reader Response Draft 4

Waymo, "A New Way Forward in Mobility," is a self-driving technology company that originated as a project within Google, integrating a range of advanced features for safety and efficiency. According to Waymo's article, "The Waymo Driver is our autonomous driving technology that never gets drunk, tired, or distracted" (Waymo, n.d.). Autonomous ride-hailing vehicles, like Waymo, have the potential to significantly improve road safety because of their capacity to lessen risks related to human fatigue, distraction, and impairment. Autonomy's intrinsic benefits point to a safer driving environment with fewer human-related accidents, even in the face of persistent technological obstacles (Hawkins, 2022). These vehicles utilize a combination of lidar, radar, cameras, GPS, and IMU sensors to perceive their surroundings with exceptional precision. High-definition maps provide additional context for navigation, ensuring accurate positioning and route planning. Artific
