The mission of the Waymo AI Foundations team is to develop machine learning solutions addressing open problems in autonomous driving, towards the goal of safely operating Waymo vehicles in dozens of cities and under all driving conditions. As part of our work, we also initiate and foster collaborations with other research teams in Alphabet. AI Foundations areas that we are currently focusing on include reinforcement learning, learning from demonstration, generative modeling, Bayesian inference, hierarchical learning, and robust evaluation.
Job Responsibility:
Make fundamental contributions to simulation based evaluation of the Waymo Driver
Develop controllable & realistic simulation agents, and deploy them in the Waymo Simulator
Develop adversarial agents for more efficient simulation based evaluation
