That was one of those little but super exciting moments where I thought back to the history, like how long did it take us from the first time we started fully autonomous rider-only operation to the first time we had external riders in four cities.

It was about eight years.

And then the other week, we just launched four in one day.

I don't believe we will.

And I actually think this... That's a great answer.

Cars will get smarter.

There's going to be advances in driver assist systems.

And if there is, at the same time, from level four autonomy, there is simplification.

And the sensors of today are not going to be the sensors of tomorrow.

So they'll be much more integrated.

They'll be simpler.

There'll be much lower cost.

So from that perspective, they're going to, you know, there is a path of convergence.

And there's also, you know, a path of convergence from, you know, the product lines.

Right hailing and what, you know, you can take,

You know, a ride through the Waymo app today, eventually they'll be on your personal car.

So that I see.

And talk about the technology.

And I see it just as fundamentally two different problems.

There's driver assist systems, and then there is full autonomy.
