Okay, so why? On a high-level business, what's your thinking?
I have a follow-up question that's maybe related. Would you get into a Tesla full self-driving vehicle right now and trust it to take you across Los Angeles? And Tesla's telling you it's really good. They just updated it. But there's been a lot of problems with full self-driving in the past. But they're telling you it's good now.

Let's say, you know, you've researched a bit, but you don't have a ton of context. The point is really how much reputational damage is there going to be when you're deciding whether to get in that car?

That was the wrong answer. You die. You get hit by a Cybertruck.

You die, A-Truck wins.

No, no, no. It's to say that there is a fundamental divide when designing a self-driving car about whether you want to make a system that has the minimal amount of tech necessary to work and get the job done and basically try to get your cars out there cheaply and efficiently to the masses and eventually get it working like a McDonald's would or if you go really slow and steady.

And that is like the fundamental divide that is happening between cars. And specifically with tech, it's between LIDAR versus just vision. So all EVs that are trying to do self-driving have vision, which is cameras. When you say vision, it's cameras. So think of like a human being. We have two cameras in our eyes, kind of. That's how we drive, right? And these are my cameras?

And that's why you sometimes wear eye camera shades like this. So all of the vehicles have cameras. And when you buy a Tesla, like right now, it's like eight cameras, right? That are all around the car and can see all of around it. Now, that can get you a lot of information, but as you guys know, if you've ever looked directly into the sun, it's actually hard to see. Sharpens the peepers.
