Leadership

 Dan, about this California DMV thing. Seems like a huge milestone. Could you tell us about that process and honestly what it means for this bigger project? Sure. I mean, we've been working in R&D mode really for several years in building driverless technology and getting it to the point where we can safely deploy without a human in the driver's seat or without a human behind the wheel. And we've now reached that point where we're ready to begin doing that, testing that on the streets of San Francisco. And that represents the beginning of the transition of this technology from R&D mode into the earlier stages of commercialization. So it's a hugely exciting milestone for everybody at Cruise and I think for transportation more broadly, given the impact this is going to have on our cities. And if you're a baseball fan, which inning would you say we're in terms of this? I think it's still extremely early days. I mean, this is the first fully driverless testing that's occurring in a major US city. So, that's a huge milestone on the one hand and represents the culmination of years of work. But, on the other hand, it's just the very, very beginning of us seeing how this technology can be deployed in the real world and then moving into commercial service, and then having the huge impact that we expect us to have on transportation down the road as we scale this up. So, it's a big moment on the one hand. But it's just another waypoint on a much, much longer journey. Right. So, Dan, this being virtual brainstorm tech, it would be a shame if we didn't show everyone what on Earth you were talking about. So, you brought a video with you. Could we cue that up? And, Dan, could you explain what we're looking at? Yeah, sure thing. So, what you'll see here is one of our cars or a couple of our cars our testing on the streets of San Francisco. We have done more than two million miles of autonomous driving on city streets. And, as you pointed out earlier, San Francisco is one of the most demanding and challenging driving environments. You can see here both what the car is seeing and some of the 3D representations of that. So, it's an enormously challenging driving environment. And some might ask, why are we doing this in such a difficult place? And the short answer is that our cities are where the transportation crisis is most severe. And it's where we believe we can have the biggest impact with this technology. And so that's the place that we need to figure out how to make this happen.
