You know, going to the hospital pregnant, coming home from the hospital with a newborn, and then these large cultural moments.

And so we've had a number of them, obviously.

We started the month with the Grammys.

We had a host of activations there.

Then the Super Bowl.

And then, of course, we have the All-Star Weekend coming in Los Angeles.

And so we're just finding this intersection of everyday life.

And then real enthusiasm, because a lot of people came to the Bay Area for the Super Bowl and were not in their city.

And it's the thing they had heard from their friends in the area.

You have to check out Waymo.

And so we saw so many downloads and so many happy riders while they were here.

You know, we are just laser focused on execution, you know, building Waymo to be financially responsible, operationally excellent, and then make sure we maintain the safety culture.

Like that's what we're really focused on.

Having this vote of confidence, as you said, not only from Alphabet, but from our three co-leads from this round and from all of the new investors who decided to join our cap table and the existing ones who doubled down on their belief that this is the right

opportunity to fund.

And so we just feel humbled.

But also, there's a lot to do.

So we're just really focused on making sure that we can scale, focusing on our two first international launches, London and Tokyo, and scaling across the United States.

Yeah, if the regulatory climate of a city is welcoming, then we can show up and map and launch in a couple of months like we did in Miami.

You know, that's a city where, you know, they were welcoming and they were ready and we were ready.
