Waymo in London

常見問題

• 常見問題

  • 你們何時會推出叫車服務？涵蓋哪些地區？

    We will soon begin conducting extensive trials of Waymo’s technology as part of our mapping and safety validation work across select boroughs in London, including Barking and Dagenham, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Royal Borough of Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Islington, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Redbridge, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, City of Westminster, and the City of London.

    We are not yet offering commercial rides, but our testing hours typically run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure our technology can safely handle all of London’s road conditions.

  • Why are you in my neighbourhood?

    If you see a Waymo vehicle in your borough, it is likely because we are mapping and validating our technology in your specific area. We aim to gather data across the widest possible range of London’s unique street layouts and driving conditions to ensure the Waymo Driver is robust and comfortable for future operation.

  • When can I try one?

    We are working hard to bring fully autonomous ride-hailing to London as soon as we can. The best way to stay informed about our expansion and service launch is to download the Waymo app and register your interest. We will notify you as soon as our commercial service becomes available in your area.

  • Why is the steering wheel on the left side (left-hand drive)?

    We are currently using our existing fleet of specially-equipped Jaguar I-PACE vehicles that were originally built for our US operations, where drivers sit on the left. The Waymo Driver—our fully autonomous system—does not require a human to operate the controls. However, our Autonomous Specialists are on board during these early trials to monitor the system, and they are trained to operate a left-hand drive vehicle safely on UK roads, and with all the rules and regulations of the roads in the UK regulations.

  • 手動駕駛的目的是什麼？

    俗話說，經驗是最好的老師。Waymo 在公共道路上進行測試，是為了在真實環境引入自動駕駛技術，並加以完善，使其適應各城市道路的細微差異。

  • 你們會拍攝車輛周遭的狀況嗎？

    Our vehicles are equipped with a suite of sensors—including cameras, lidar, and radar—that continuously perceive the world around the vehicle. This is essential for the Waymo Driver to safely navigate its surroundings, spot things like cyclists and lorries, and obey all traffic signals. This data is used solely to develop and validate our safety-critical autonomous driving technology.

  • 這些自動駕駛專家具備什麼經驗/背景？

    自動駕駛專家在測試期間會待在車內。他們都是訓練有素的專業人員，通常具備專業駕駛或車輛操作背景，以及軟體和系統疑難排解方面的技術專長。專家受過嚴格的內部培訓和認證，瞭解自動駕駛系統的基本原理、安全守則和緊急程序。
