Why Waymo runs cameras, lidar, and radar togetherWaymo uses three sensing types, and Dolgov spent real time on why. Betting against sensors like lidar on today’s prices, he warned, means betting on “a number that has a fairly short shelf life.” Waymo is running the numbers Dolgov says camera-only can’t reach. If sensors keep getting cheaper while camera-only keeps hitting the same wall, “cameras are the pragmatic choice” gets weaker every year. We are hearing that Waymo is close to having its entire package (car + Waymo sensor suite and driver) at around $60,000.
