Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company that develops self-driving vehicles and operates fully driverless transportation services. Originally created as Google’s self-driving car project in 2009, the company later became an independent subsidiary of Alphabet with the goal of making transportation safer, more accessible, and more efficient through autonomous mobility. Its core technology, known as the Waymo Driver, combines artificial intelligence, high-resolution cameras, radar, lidar sensors, and detailed digital maps to allow vehicles to perceive their surroundings and navigate roads without human intervention. It continuously analyzes traffic signals, pedestrians, other vehicles, and road conditions to determine safe driving actions in real time. Before operating in a new area, Waymo vehicles map roads in extreme detail, identifying lane markings, signs, and intersections, and then combine this information with real-time sensor data to maintain precise positioning.

MORAI offers a digital twin simulation platform that accelerates the development and testing of autonomous vehicles, urban air mobility, and maritime autonomous surface ships. Built with high-definition maps and a powerful physics engine, it bridges the gap between real-world and simulation test environments, providing all key elements for verifying autonomous systems, including autonomous driving, unmanned aerial vehicles, and unmanned ship systems. It provides a variety of sensor models, including cameras, LiDAR, GPS, radar, and Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). Users can generate complex and diverse test scenarios from real-world data, including log-based scenarios and edge case scenarios. MORAI's cloud simulation allows for safe, cost-effective, and scalable testing, enabling multiple simulations to run concurrently and evaluate different scenarios in parallel.
