Radar is not well affected.

So you can imagine driving on a freeway, then radar will give you really good returns for cars that are absolutely invisible in the camera space.

Well, it's a combination of the sensors, right?

So we rely on, you know, each one is noisy, right?

How the noise characteristics show up in different environments is different.

But it is, I mean, it's not like we switch from one to another.

It's not like, you know, we estimate, you know, what's happening with the world through cameras and through radars and through ladder and then we compare.

No, they're like, there's an encoder for camera, there's an encoder for ladder, there's an encoder, and they all go into the, you know, the system.

that gives you jointly the best view of what's happening in the world.

So if you were, you know, if it's a nice, bright, sunny day, cameras are very valuable.

If, you know, it's pitch dark or you have like sun in your face or you're blinded by the headlights from, you know, an oncoming car, then camera will degrade.

There's still some, you know, noisy signal, but it will degrade.

Yes.

And radar, LiDAR is completely unaffected.

I, so I'm

super excited right now about the accelerating global expansion, more cities in the United States and going internationally.

So being, I understand I'm not answering your question about the technology, I'll get back to that.

But really, that's the thing that I'm today most excited about just being, you know, getting to a place where any major

metropolitan area, you can fly into the airport and then take a Waymo and go anywhere you want to go.

That is insanely exciting to me right now.
