the claim

Waymo's autonomous vehicles use lidar alongside cameras and radar to perceive their surroundings.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Waymo's autonomous vehicles use lidar alongside cameras and radar to perceive their surroundings?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources state that autonomous vehicles generally fuse cameras, LiDAR and radar for perception, but none of the retrieved items specifically confirms that Waymo's own vehicles use all three sensor types.
