Too early to adopt
- Why
- Waymo itself labels EMMA as foundational research with explicit, self-stated limitations (4-frame window, no LiDAR/radar, latency); it is not deployed and is outside pv's domain — interesting as a multimodal-model signal only.
- Next
- Track follow-on work (closed-loop sensor sim, LiDAR/radar fusion, frame-window expansion, open-source reproductions like OpenEMMA/LightEMMA) and whether Waymo moves EMMA from research toward any on-vehicle component.
