I mean, we're in the phases of figuring out the specifics around the launch and figuring out the actual framework around the launch.

And so I don't want to speak too definitively about what we're going to do.

But what you're speaking to is we're not gated by the technology.

And we have the appetite to scale and we want to partner and do so safely and we want to earn trust.

So that's like there's a lot of levers there that we have to figure out how to strike the right balance and how to make sure that we're introducing it to the community, both to meet the demand and to grow the.

They've been extremely forward leaning and interested in seeing how this technology could actually improve safety on their roadways.

And that's where I think, you know, we find a sweet spot when people are less sort of complacent about the status quo.

And I think there's a lot of complacency about road deaths, 40,000 or 1.2 million globally.

And when there isn't, I think people are actively interested in solutions.

And then they want to figure out, of course, what are the things they need to think through and learn from.

Yes, I, yes, people are, there's, you know, obviously before we go in, we do a lot of polling.

We meet with a lot of residents as well as advocates and people are, people want safe, private spaces.

It adds to their day versus becoming time that they lose in the day.

And so it's a, you know, the thing that's been most exciting is once we introduce the Waymo service into a cityscape,

People discover things they didn't think they could have like that hour a day in the morning and that by yourself to get something done.

People have just sacrificed it.

And whether that's on transit or whether that's it doesn't matter.

And we're not you know, people want to take transit.

That's great because you can also sit there.

Just can't sit there maybe until you're calm, quiet.
