Waymo, the autonomous driving company under Google's parent company Alphabet, is leveraging the Genie 3 AI model developed by DeepMind to create a realistic digital world for training autonomous driving technology to handle complex 'edge scenarios.' Waymo introduced the 'Waymo World Model' built on Genie 3, which can generate virtual environments based on textual prompts. Through collaboration with other departments at Google, Waymo's autonomous driving services are expected to accelerate their rollout to more markets. Last week, Genie 3 garnered significant attention for its 'world-building' capabilities, even causing fluctuations in related company stock prices. Waymo has customized Genie 3 to generate highly realistic synthetic driving scenes and depth perception data.
