Waymo has unveiled a generative simulation model using Google DeepMind's Genie 3 to create hyper-realistic autonomous driving scenarios its fleet has never encountered.

The Waymo World Model can also take real-world dashcam footage and transform it into a simulated environment, for the “highest degree of realism and factuality” in virtual testing, the company says.

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...
