Right. Ah, right, yeah. So there's two big arguments here. So again, the obvious response to this is like, holy shit, I'm not going to get in a car if it doesn't have LiDAR, if it doesn't have these extra sensors. Like, why on earth would I ever get into a Tesla and let it drive me somewhere if Waymo has more information, more sensors? To give you a sense of numbers...

A recent Tesla has eight cameras on it. A Waymo has 29 sensors across these things, right? So it's not just different types. It's also just more of them. And you can see it when you look at a Waymo car, there's just more stuff on it. It does look insane. It looks insane. It looks wild. Whereas a Tesla looks like a car, right? And so why would Tesla do this? There's a couple of main arguments.

One is like what you said, it's expensive. Lidar is very, very expensive. Initially, it cost tens of thousands, is the estimate, to put Lidar into a car. That is completely undoable when you're talking about selling a car to an average consumer, right? It is going down in price. Waymo is like working to really, really drop it down. But traditionally, it's been very expensive.

And then the other... So that's the kind of obvious one. And the other is a more...

high-level idea about how you focus your business, which is like, okay, it's great to have three complex systems, LiDAR cameras and radar in a Waymo, but now your team of engineers who have to solve this unbelievably hard problem of self-driving with all the different conditions that can happen and to do it at a level with such an obscene amount of security and safety and redundancy because the instant you do hit that dog, you're probably in a lot of shit.

Even if you do show them that radar footage and Aiden laughs, you're in trouble.

You're a court witness. They only share the radar footage. Guys, it's not bad. And so the idea here is you should focus your team on one thing, right? Instead of having your team be split into the LiDAR team, which has to make the hardware and the software for LiDAR,
