To get started with Waymo Open Dataset, ensure you have gained access to the dataset using your Google account. Proceed only after you are able to view the dataset on the Google Cloud Console here.

• Follow the instructions on this page to install the gcloud CLI.
• Authenticate with your account via the CLI by following this link. This ultimately should create a credentials file and stored on your development machine. These credentials will be utilized by the script to download the data.

• Assuming you have authenticated, creadentials are generated and accessible across applications on your development machine; run the following script: ./scripts/download_data.sh <source-blob> <destination-folder> <-m : for parallelization>.
• For example, if you wish to download just camera_image then the command looks like this: ./scripts/download_data.sh waymo_open_dataset_v_2_0_0/training/camera_image /mnt/e/WaymoOpenDatasetV2/training/camera_image -m
• If you wish to download the entire dataset then it is roughly 2.29TB. You may query with gsutil du -s -ah gs://waymo_open_dataset_v_2_0_0 if there has been any change to the dataset.
