Who's the second biggest provider of electric vehicles on American roads today after Tesla?

Right.

Okay.

What do you think we'll be like in five years in the United States?

What will the market for EVs be like?

The thing I don't get is we know enough as a people, as a government, about what a threat China is to keep their cars out of here, but not enough to do anything about it.

Because American consumers would benefit from cheaper, more widely available electric vehicles.

It's just amazing.

Talking to Alex Roy about electric vehicles, we're about to talk about autonomous vehicles.

I went to San Francisco with my family.

We took Waymo everywhere.

Changed my whole understanding of autonomous vehicles.

And, you know, there's an argument because every time one's involved in an accident,

People get all freaked out and they say, oh, we can never have autonomous vehicles because they're so dangerous.

When in fact, the data is quite clear.

Yes, there are accidents with autonomous vehicles, but they're so much safer.

and all these then having drivers like in an Uber and all these government officials who are trying to block it are hurting their constituents and keeping them from safety.

Do you agree with that?

Yeah.

So according to statistics, just to double back before, about 1.5 million new electric vehicles were sold in the U.S.
