Sakha oyena mqhubi unamava ehlabathini. Lo ngumyalezo kwi Waymo website, kodwa umqhubi weWaymo wokhuseleko wabonakala elele ngelixa emva kwevili ebangela ingozi emva kokuba ecime isoftware yokuqhuba.
“Usafumana umqhubi ophaphileyo xa ukhwela iteksi eHawaii. Abaqhubi beeteksi eHonolulu basebenzela Iiteksi zikaCharley kufuneka baphumelele uvavanyo kwiinkampani Isifanisi sokuqhuba.”, utsho uDale Evans, umbhali wale Kholamu ye-eTN. UDale ngumongameli weCharley's Taxi Aloha Ilizwe laseHawaii. Inkampani yakhe inendlela ekhethekileyo kwaye ityale imali kakhulu kukhuseleko, ukhuseleko, kunye nenkonzo esemgangathweni.
EWaymo's ePhoenix, inkampani ibeke abaqhubi bokhuseleko ngasemva kumavili ezithuthi zayo eziphambili, ebezisebenza ngaphandle kwabaqhubi kangangexesha elithile, kwaye kuzo zonke iinqanawa zayo ezibanzi, inkampani yongeze abaqhubi abasebenzisanayo kwiishifti zayo zasemini kunye nokutshintsha kwexesha lasebusuku. Abaqhubi abasebenzisanayo bayinxalenye yemizamo kaWaymo yokugcina abaqhubi bayo bezokhuseleko bephaphile, kwaye Ulwazi Ingxelo ithi le nkampani ikwafakela iikhamera ezijonge ubuso babaqhubi ngeenjongo zokubajonga xa benokuthi banqwale.
I-Waymo yaqala njengeprojekthi yemoto kaGoogle yokuziqhuba ngo-2009. Namhlanje, siyinkampani ezimeleyo yeteknoloji yokuziqhuba enomgomo wokuyenza ikhuseleke kwaye ibelula kumntu wonke ukuhamba-ngaphandle kwesidingo sakhe nabani na okwisitulo somqhubi.
UWaymo yinkampani yophuhliso lwetekhnoloji yokuziqhuba. I-subsidiary ye-Alphabet Inc. I-Waymo yavela njengeprojekthi ye-Google ngaphambi kokuba ibe yi-subsidiary ezimeleyo ngoDisemba 2016. U-Waymo ngoku uqhuba ulingo lweshishini lokukhwela i-autonomous ride-hailing e-Phoenix, e-Arizona.
Nantsi indlela uWaymo aqale ngayo, ngokokuthunyelwa kwibhlog yenkampani:
2009 Iprojekthi yemoto kaGoogle yokuziqhuba yaqala
Siye saqalisa umngeni wokuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo kwiindlela ezilishumi ezingaphazamisekiyo zeemayile ezili-100 kwizithuthi zethu iToyota Prius. Kwiinyanga kamva, siye saphumelela ekuqhubeni iodolo yobukhulu obukhulu kuneyakhe yaqhutywa ngokuzimeleyo.
2012 Ngaphezulu kwe 300,000 yeemayile eziqhutywa ngokwazo
Songeze i-Lexus RX450h kwiinqanawa zethu kwaye saqhubeka siziqhuba kwiindlela ezikhululekileyo kunye nabaqhubi bovavanyo. Simeme abanye abasebenzi bakaGoogle ukuba baqalise kwangethuba uvavanyo lobuchwepheshe bethu koohola bendlela, besebenzisa iimoto zethu emsebenzini kunye nohambo lwempelaveki.
2012 Wafudukela kwizitalato ezintsonkothileyo zedolophu
Siye satshintshela kugxininiso kwimekobume entsonkothileyo yezitalato zedolophu nabahambi ngeenyawo, abakhweli beebhayisikile, umsebenzi wendlela nokunye. USteve Mahan osuka kwiSanta Clara Valley Blind Centre uthathe uvavanyo lwakhe lokuqala kwisihlalo somqhubi, ekhatshwa ngumqhubi wovavanyo.
I-2015 "Firefly" ifike kwiindlela zoluntu okokuqala
Siye saphonononga ukuba zinokuba njani iimoto eziziqhuba ngokupheleleyo ngokuyila isithuthi esitsha sokukhangela, esibizwa ngokuba yi “Firefly,” ukusuka phantsi ukuya phezulu. Ezi moto bezinezivamvo zesiqhelo, iikhompyutha, isiteringi kunye neziqhoboshi, kodwa akukho vili lokuqhuba okanye iipedali.
Ngo-2015 uhambo lokuqala lweHlabathi lokuziqhuba ngokupheleleyo kwiindlela zikawonke-wonke
USteve wahamba nathi ukuze siphinde sikhwele kwinqwelo-mafutha yethu, kodwa ngesi sihlandlo sahlukile. Wakhwela yedwa kwisithuthi-akukho vili lokuqhuba, akukho ziphedali kwaye akukho mqhubi-kwiindlela zikawonke-wonke e-Austin, TX.
2016 Waymo, inkampani yeteknoloji yokuziqhuba
Iprojekthi yemoto kaGoogle yokuziqhuba yaba yiWaymo, inkampani yetekhnoloji yokuziqhuba enomsebenzi wokwenza kube lula kwaye kukhuseleke kubantu kunye nezinto zokuhamba.
Ngo-2017 Yaziswa ngeeminivan zeChrysler Pacifica Hybrid eziziqhuba ngokupheleleyo
Songeze iChrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan kwiinqanawa zethu. Esi yayisisithuthi sethu sokuqala esakhiwe kwiqonga lokuvelisa ngobuninzi kunye ne-suite ye-hardware ehlanganiswe ngokupheleleyo, esanda kuyilwa nguWaymo ngenjongo yokuzimela ngokupheleleyo.
I-2017 Yazisa inkqubo yokukhwela kwangaphambili
Simeme abahlali basePhoenix, AZ ukuba bazibandakanye novavanyo lukawonke-wonke lwezithuthi zethu eziziqhubayo kwaye bancede ukubumba ikamva lendlela eziya kusebenza ngayo iimoto zethu.
Izithuthi zethu eziziqhuba ngokupheleleyo zaqalisa uvavanyo-kuqhuba kwiindlela zikawonke-wonke kungekho mntu ukwisitulo somqhubi. Kungekudala, uluntu luya kuqalisa ukusebenzisa ezi zithuthi kubomi babo bemihla ngemihla.
Ukuba iimoto ezingaqhubiyo ziyikamva kwishishini lokuthuthwa komhlaba, ukuba iinqwelomoya ezihamba ngaphandle komqhubi ziya kuba yinyani kungekudala, zilindele ukubonakala.
Okwangoku, abaqhubi abakhuselekileyo bahlala bengundoqo kunoma yimuphi umbutho wokuthutha umhlaba ukuba uphumelele.
Iinkxalabo zokuba iiNkampani zeNethiwekhi yezoThutho (i-TNC) zithathele kulo ilizwe leeteksi kunokuthetha ukonga iDola apha naphaya, kodwa kuthekani ngomqhubi oqeqeshiweyo nokhuseleko?
I-Uber kunye neLyft zezona nkampani zaziwayo ze-TNC kwaye zisasazeke kuyo yonke indawo.
Umbhali wale kholamu, uDale Evans we
Iiteksi zikaCharley ibigxeka kwaye yathetha ngokuphandle ngokuchasene nabasebenzisi abanjalo.
