So we're talking with various countries, regulatory authorities.
I think Japan is going to be a part of it.
I certainly hope that Hong Kong is going to be a part of it.
Australia, where we were just talking about, is a huge market for us.
So we're having those dialogues, and I think that the picture will shape up over the next two years because the technology is definitely getting there.
Baidu is a partner of ours.
So we partner with Baidu.
We ride, for example, in Abu Dhabi and expanding there.
Pony's another partner of ours.
So we absolutely expect to be on the road with all three of them.
When you look at Chinese autonomous technology and the development there, they are one of the leaders on a global basis.
And for us, we want to partner with the whole autonomous ecosystem to bring this technology to reality.
Yes.
They could come from the Asia region and they could also involve some of the partners that we talked about, Baidu, WeRide and Pony.
In every major market in which we operate, we are having discussions with autonomous partners and then most importantly regulators.
as to how we can introduce autonomous, either in a pilot way or within some restricted operational domain.
Everyone wants this product.
It's a product that's delightful.
In markets, for example, in Atlanta, in Austin, in Abu Dhabi, our consumers love the product.
They feel safe, and this technology is hitting prime time now, and every major city in the world wants to be a part of that revolution.
