5 min read

Many recent AI breakthroughs have followed a common pattern: bigger models, trained on more data, with more compute, often deliver extraordinary gains. Waymo’s latest study explores whether this trend extends to autonomous driving and establishes new scaling laws in motion planning and forecasting — core autonomous vehicle (AV) capabilities. Our research confirms … [continued]
