Waymo's EMMA: Teaching Cars to Think - Jyh Jing Hwang, Waymo

An exploration of Waymo's research into EMMA, an End-to-End Multimodal Model for Autonomous Driving. This summary details how foundation models like Gemini are being adapted to create a single, generalizable system that processes raw sensor data directly into driving decisions, aiming to solve the long-tail problem and improve scalability. It also covers the use of generative AI for advanced sensor simulation and model evaluation.
