We did detect her, you know, coming between from behind a tall SUV into the roadway.

We hard braked and we made contact and at six miles an hour.

And we also determined in our human equivalent model that a human would not have been able to perform as our superhuman driver performed.

Right.

And so this is an example, we believe, of exactly why we do what we do.

We want to make roads safer.

And we welcome the opportunity to cooperate with the NTSB in this investigation.

Yeah, I think, you know, first and foremost, with safety being our priority, how we perform around school buses and children is a top priority for our company.

You know, we've already addressed this situation with a software release, which is really important to us.

But also we partnered with the Austin Independent School District.

Yes.

to look at data they have so we can make sure that we are learning from what they have.

You know, their data obviously would be more based on human driven vehicles, but still having that opportunity to learn is really important to us.

And then once again, we have agreed with the NTSB to be a party to this investigation because we think it's important for us to understand and for them to understand what we're seeing because we also have a lot of awareness around the school buses.

I don't think we can think of it as a single thing.

And I want to be super respectful of the investigation here.

And so but I don't think we should think of it as a thing because, you know, there are angles, there are times there.

They're not all parked.

And so I think we should let the investigation play out and and then happy to talk to you afterwards.

I think it's really exciting for us and something that we continue to partner with the research teams, but really our acceleration hasn't been dependent on that.
