Who's going to get there first?

Tesla with full self-driving or Waymo with cost and geographic ubiquity?

But you know what we're not debating about?

Is it going to happen?

You know what we're not debating about?

Like, is there a big technical breakthrough that needs to happen?

None of those things.

So now we're clearly in the engineering side of self-driving, which is just this grind down to like dollar per mile efficiency.

And the moment that it's cheap, guess what?

All the OEMs are smart.

They'll just adopt it.

It's not the OEMs are resistant because they don't think consumers want it or they don't understand the technology.

It's because they want a price envelope, which allows them to keep their, raise their thin margins, and at a scale, which is deployed across 100-plus countries in V1.

And so if you're just doing a small deployment, it's very different.

And the last thing I would say is the buyer of a Subaru or a buyer of a Suzuki have very different brand expectations than a buyer of a Tesla.

Mm-hmm.

And so including the age of the consumer and what they think will happen or won't happen.

So that's also the reason.

So if you're Suzuki, you're like, my buyer's like not, doesn't want this stuff.

So I'm not going to jam it into the car.
