The
RO Performance Team is accountable for the largest metrics system deployment in the AV industry. The team manages data pipelines that monitor Waymo's AV fleet in the real world at various latencies: from minutes to hours; supporting critical business decisions for deployments in new markets and identifying emergent business critical challenges. In addition, the same pipeline technologies are deployed for the virtual world to measure key outcomes from Waymo's massive scale simulations, generating insights to support new Driver releases. Important objectives for the next couple of years include:
- Reliably scaling as the business scales, Waymo is in its fast expansion phase and systems have to be built to support 100x growth.
- Timeliness: As Waymo's deployments accelerate across the globe, time to first detection needs to consistently improve.
- Comprehensive coverage: Expanding into new weather conditions and new markets brings new challenges. Increasing the metric and detection offerings to meet these challenges is key to achieving our business goals.
The team works closely with many other teams such as: metrics development teams including large AI deployments, System engineers and Data scientists that produce definitions and quality controls, infrastructure and UI teams that support underlying capabilities, product teams to stay sensitive to changing business needs, and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams to maintain high system uptime.
