The editor of Downcodes learned that Waymo has launched a new AI model EMMA - an end-to-end multi-modal autonomous driving model. This model is based on the powerful Gemini artificial intelligence system and aims to improve the understanding and decision-making capabilities of autonomous driving technology in complex road conditions. The EMMA model has demonstrated excellent performance in multiple key tasks such as motion planning and 3D object detection, and by integrating multi-modal data, it has significantly improved the accuracy of path prediction, object detection and road map understanding. Waymo’s research results provide new directions for future innovation in autonomous driving technology.
Waymo said that the EMMA model makes full use of Gemini's extensive knowledge and reasoning capabilities, and can process raw camera input and text data to generate various driving outputs, and by establishing a unified language space, enhance the decision-making process and improve the efficiency of end-to-end planning. . This marks the huge potential of multi-modal models in the field of autonomous driving, and also opens up new possibilities for the application of AI technology in complex dynamic environments. Drago Anguelov, Vice President and Head of Research at Waymo, is confident in the future development of EMMA and looks forward to further exploring the role of multi-modal methods in building more versatile and adaptable driving systems.
