Waymo gamifies self-driving car data and wants everyone involved - Roadshow

Look at all of that beautiful data. Waymo is calling all intrigued minds to partake in an Open Dataset challenge, and it could result in some cold, hard cash. On Thursday, Alphabet's self-driving car subsidiary added more to its Open Dataset and invited anyone to tackle one of five challenges related to the data. The Open Dataset is a treasure trove of data that Waymo's self-driving car prototypes collect as they log millions of miles on the road. Last year, the company shared the data and let anyone access it for the greater good of scientific progress.
