This is the beginning of you guys doing commercial runs with nobody behind the wheel, not even a safety operator, a safety monitor. How quickly will this grow? Well, it's, it's going to be very exciting. So we've been working on millions of miles of experience. We've put the thing through 15 million tests before we let it out on the road. And over the course of this year, we expect to get to 200 of them on the road by the end of the year. And then growing next year, we'll be producing 20 trucks a week by the end of the year. Is the biggest selling point with your customers, we have a dry load, it could be a refrigerator load, could be any number of things, but what's the biggest incentive for the trucking companies to say, I want to go with an autonomous truck. I don't need a driver? So first and foremost, all of them care about safety. That is number one, two and three on their mind. Behind that, we can help them save on fuel economy, move goods more quickly, and then we can fill the need when they can't hire amazing drivers for their teams. Less expensive? All those, less expensive. But also we can operate more. So because the Aurora driver doesn't get tired, we can operate 20 plus hours a day, doubling the time that this truck gets to be on the road doing useful things.
