Genie 3 world model technology successfully applied to Waymo autonomous driving
By
–
We researchers often say "let us build this cool new technology and there will be many ways the company/society can use it, such as <list>". Here's a great example of that happening! Fun to see Genie help Waymo!! Jack Parker-Holder (@jparkerholder) Super excited to see Genie 3 having impact in autonomous driving. We've talked…. a lot… about this type of application for world models, and its been incredible to see the Waymo team do things we previously dreamed of! Congrats @maxjiang93 and team!! — https://nitter.net/jparkerholder/status/2019808695169982887#m
