We have been very clear this is not a quick thing, it takes a while to see a payoff but when it does, it's pretty powerful.

There's been some increased skepticism in the market. I think that's natural, it takes awhile to build this stuff. I certainly feel optimistic still.

If you think about the other big names that are developing the technology, they're all tied up in one way or another with another larger company, for our partners one of the things they may find appealing is the fact that if you actually want to place a bet on self-driving technology, we're the legitimate independent alternative.

Developing a car that can shoulder the entire burden of driving is crucial to safety, human drivers can’t always be trusted to dip in and out of the task of driving when the car is encouraging them to sit back and relax.

This maintains the same old status quo and falls short on allowing this technology to reach its full potential, while excluding those who need to get around but cannot drive....We can do better.
