So first and foremost, this was a child and we are extremely happy that she walked away from this incident.
As you said, because there's, you know, an investigation pending, we thought it was important to become a party to the investigation.
And so we're doing that.
And as we've already stated, you
16 miles per 17 miles per hour.
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.
