Waymo is preparing to use data from its robotaxis, including video from interior cameras tied to rider identities, to train generative AI models.The draft language also reveals Waymo may also share rider data to personalize ads. This isn’t new; Waymo already collects personal data to improve services and for advertising purposes, per its existing privacy policy. This has raised fresh questions about how much of a rider’s behavior inside autonomous vehicles could be repurposed for AI training.Waymo is, to date, the only autonomous vehicle company pulling in revenue for robotaxi rides in the United States. As of February, the company is logging more than 200,000 paid robotaxi rides every week via its commercial services in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin. What is your take on Waymo idea ?
