Yes, thank you.
So, yeah, as you mentioned, they're already operating in Las Vegas and San Francisco, but those are for essentially demonstration purposes.
and research purposes.
We're not exactly sure where this new fleet of commercial vehicles will be able to operate, but what I can tell you is that what they're receiving is a temporary exemption for up to 5,000 robo-taxis to operate commercially.
So we can probably safely assume that these taxis are also going to be on the streets of San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Well, we don't, is the short answer.
The exemption was announced today by the NHTSA, by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Usually this is a process where they would first have to receive the exemption and then there's a procedure.
What we know is that the regulator has given them this temporary exemption for up to two years, so 2,500 vehicles annually over the next two years.

Waymo, you know, has, you know, thousands of taxis operating in the United States, robo taxis.
These are taxis without human drivers.
You know, they're by far and away the biggest.
And Zoox at the moment has a fleet of.
105 vehicles, which, as we just discussed, are on the road for research and demonstration purposes.

Yeah, they certainly are.
And this is an important point here, you know, the difference if we're looking at Waymo versus Zoox.
One of the reasons why Waymo has been allowed to operate in the United States and has been able to build up its presence here is because it meets current federal motor vehicle safety standards, which require that these vehicles have steering wheels and brake pedals.
What sets Zoox apart is that its vehicles do not have those
