Waymo Foundation Model
Described by Waymo in December 2025 as the world model behind the Waymo Driver. A fast encoder fuses camera, lidar and radar for quick reactions, and a Gemini-trained driving vision-language model reasons about rare situations. Both feed a decoder that predicts other road users, builds maps and generates and checks trajectories.
