Waymo said on its official website on Thursday that this ASIC chip has been used in Waymo's latest generation RoboTaxi. Waymo said that using self-developed chips in combination with other chips and sensors independently designed by the company will improve Robotaxi's responsiveness and navigation capabilities in complex urban environments. Waymo said the ASIC's dedicated accelerator can instantly extract key information from the original lidar, radar, and camera data streams for time-domain noise reduction to enhance low-light sensing capabilities. According to the press release, the computing power of its self-developed chip exceeds 1000 TOPS — as measured by this indicator, Waymo's self-developed chip has reached a level comparable to Nvidia's latest generation of autonomous driving systems.
