Waymo vehicles are equipped with lidar, radar, and 29 cameras.

“Multiple sources confirm that Waymo's fifth-generation vehicles, which are widely deployed, use a sensor suite that includes lidar, radar, and exactly 29 cameras. This configuration was detailed in reports from 2020 through early 2025. However, in August 2024, Waymo announced its sixth-generation system which uses a reduced number of sensors: 13 cameras, 4 lidars, and 6 radars. Since the video was released after this announcement, the claim is accurate for the 5th-gen fleet but not their latest technology. Context: The claim refers to Waymo's fifth-generation hardware, which has been in use for several years. Waymo's newer, sixth-generation system, announced in August 2024, uses a different configuration with fewer cameras.”
