Yeah, I think that the way to think about AVs is they're going to be good for the whole industry, the rideshare industry, because as I say, it's a good new product at a lower cost.
And I think why we are particularly well positioned is we have demand that runs to the two, three, four million people a day level.
So we have lots of demand for this.
And you know what they want?
They want a fast, reliable pickup that's going to get them where they want to go.
Sometimes they'll want to be driven by a human, sometimes by a robot, just kind of depends.
And so this idea of a hybrid network, I think it's a real strength, particularly when you sort of marry it with fleet management.
Yeah, for sure.
So we're in Atlanta.
We still have safety drivers in the car just to make sure everything is going well.
And, you know, because we want this to be an incredibly high quality, incredibly safe experience.
What we're learning is people love it.
I mean, this is the interesting thing.
People before they, when they hear about AVs, they're often a little skeptical.
They sound like, I'm not sure I'm going to be excited about taking a car that's driven by a robot.
You know, five minutes later, they've kind of fallen in love.
And that's kind of what we're seeing.
The utilization is high, like what's the metric?
Yeah, super high, super high.
Basically, I mean, as much supply as we can get, we can put on the road because there's plenty of demand for these things.
