**Summary:**

1. **Innovative AI Model**  
Waymo is advancing its autonomous driving technology by exploring the use of Google’s **Gemini** multimodal large language model (MLLM) to train its **robotaxis**.

2. **New Research Paper**  
The company introduced an **End-to-End Multimodal Model for Autonomous Driving** , referred to as **EMMA** , which processes sensor data to predict future trajectories for its vehicles.

3. **Shift from Traditional Approaches**  
Historically, autonomous systems relied on specific modules for functions like perception and planning, which faced scaling issues and difficulties adapting to novel environments.

4. **Advantages of Gemini**  
Waymo argues that MLLMs like Gemini offer broad “world knowledge” and improved reasoning capabilities, potentially addressing the limitations of traditional systems.

5. **Challenges Ahead**  
While EMMA shows promise in helping robotaxis navigate complex situations, there are limitations in processing 3D sensor inputs, and future research is necessary to mitigate risks associated with MLLMs, including potential inaccuracies.
