Instead of honking, Waymo AVs can play music to assist you find your vehicle.

Alphabet’s autonomous ride-hailing service, Waymo One, is currently improving the passenger experience while also making more vehicles available. The pickup experience is the centerpiece of the most recent Waymo autonomous vehicle (AV) enhancements, which also include a new tune.

recently (through The Verge ) has launched a number of improvements to enhance the pickup experience for everyone as part of Waymo’s effort to make its autonomous service more inclusive.

The Waymo One app for and iOS is initially providing turn-by-turn navigations to reach the pickup spot, which may be farther away than with human-driven automobiles. Instead of requiring the user to switch apps, the Waymos system directs them along the best route for pedestrians by making use of their knowledge of sidewalks, crosswalks, and other topographical features.

When you get closer, there is a distance-to-car compass that offers immediate direction, such as 50 feet to your left.

Additionally, Waymo is enhancing users’ ability to remotely blow a car’s horn from the app using specially designed automobile noises that are less rude/annoying and less likely to attract unwanted attention. This Waymo AV melody is an aggressive high-pitch electric piano with fast bursts of bells and repeating melodic runs. It is more audible and perceptible at a wider range because of its increased range.

Meanwhile, the Chrysler Pacifica minivan’s front windshield displays the custom Car ID, which displays two letters (for example, initials) in one of four colors. It is a 360-degree sensor dome fitted on the roof of the Jaguar I-PACE.

A row of buttons that displays numerous tasks on the main screen when traveling is one of the mobile app’s other improvements. Depending on the user’s context and where they are in their journey, they are dynamically prioritized.
