About David Margines

At Waymo, I\'m the Product Lead for 3 areas-Perception, which processes all our Lidar, Camera, Radar, and Audio data into a rich, 3D representation of the world and the meaning of it (things like \"that officer directing traffic is telling me to proceed\")-Mapping, which provides our AVs with a prior understanding of the world around us and provides a foundation for onboard teams like Perception, Routing, and Planning-Data Infrastructure, which selects the data that will most effectively help us understand the Waymo Driver and accelerate its improvement.I drive research partnerships. I also represent Waymo externally to numerous regulators and to the public at large. At Google, I worked in AI-driven automated ad products-Started and owned Ads\' first fully automated ad campaign type-Started and owned Responsive Ads, which grew to have >$10B in revenue flowing through it annually-Launched improvements to the Core Ad auction system (infra changes with sub-millisecond latency requirements)
