In certain markets, it's absolutely regulation.

I think when you think about the evolution of this technology as a whole, it's been making sure that we could have the safety outcomes that we want, and all of that is the technology.

Like, can the driver produce these kinds of outcomes?

You know, we've driven over 200 million miles in our time, and based on 170 million miles of data, you know, we are now reducing 13x reduction

in serious injury-causing crashes over a human and the same amount of reduction as it relates to injuries with pedestrians.

So we can now say that we are just over 10 times safer than a human at 170 million miles, and so that's the kind of superhuman performance

that we were seeking in order to then be able to scale this technology.

Now we have markets that are closed, markets that are open, and we have to do all of the work with the cities, with the regulators, first responders, everyone, in order to advance our technology.

So we're laser-focused on doing that.

And the reality is, you know,

Citizens, consumers, riders, those who've been cut out of the mobility systems in cities, they're demanding and requesting and advocating for us to come, and so that's a really exciting inflection point also.

Yeah, 240 lifetimes is the, yeah.

I think we are now focused on rolling out safely as quickly as possible.

There is an adoption curve that has to happen, though, right?

Like, I think what you're saying is what undergirds our entire company, which is, like, safety is urgent.

you know, saving lives, if this technology can perform at this level, then we have a responsibility to figure out how to do it.

Doesn't mean, though, that we're not being met with opposition.

And so we also have the burden of making those policymakers who are not welcoming us with open arms

we have to demonstrate our safety records.

So we have a safety hub.
