I would liken it to the - transition between the horse and cart and the automobile 100 or years ago or so, right? - it happened pretty quicklyl in the grand scale of things but, incrementally, day on day, it was sort of a gradual - process but accelerated - as the economics and the safety and all the other things that came with such a transitionl came to bear. it will certainly be - a multi—yearjourney, but i would very much hope and expect strongly that. by the end of this decade, we will be ...

If you can unmute your microphone and give us your question. my question is, why - was the lightyear 0 released so late when it was - expected much earlier? so, thorny question there for arjo. why was the lightyear so late? so, we set out to build this production car six years ago when we founded the company but we were five guys straight out of college. we didnt have any money, we didnt have any experience so besides having to engineer the car, we also had to build the company, and weve been tr...

We believe — it is much more scalable, so to avoid the need for maps, we will avoid the use of very expensive sensors and rely. on cameras, which are easy, . relatively inexpensive and easy to integrate and, you know, we drive with these two - eyes every day. finally, were going to use . a more holistic, what we call end—to—end, machine—learning| approach where we really teach the machine to drive by example rather than trying to code - those rules in by hand. thank you so much, jamie. n...

A more holistic, what we call end—to—end machine—learning. approach where we really teach the machine to drive by example rather than trying to code - those rules in by hand. thank you so much, jamie. now, arjo, were going to come to you and youve made such great strides with your prototype model of the lightyear solar car. its expensive. what i really want to know is when am i going to be able to afford one? when are we going to get to a commercially viable, affordable, family—sized sol...

We actually offer a lot more. for one, were leveraging the battery to provide electricity for customers, particularly in roll—out, in electrical outage situations, we can actually use it for our home, for multiple days at a time. also without the engine, were able to take advantage of that space up front and basically turn it into a front trunk. and then, of course, performance in the vehicle isjust outstanding. with an ev, you get that near—instant torque that we talked about earlier which ...

It will certainly be - a multi—yearjourney, but i would very much hope and expect strongly that. by the end of this decade, we will be seeing this- in very mainstream use. end of this decade, i will come find you and find out. arjo, whats your perspective on this? so, im going to go back to the mission statement of lightyear again, clean mobility for everyone. we talked a bit about the cost of ownership of a car that you buy and the biggest factor we know of is the purchase price, and i think ...

So we took a year to design and build stella, the worlds first solar—powered family car and raced it 3,000 kilometres through the desert of australia, and that set us up for the next adventure, for lightyear, so a few years later after we finished our studies and we took the car all over the world and we had hoped to inspire the industry, to show that it is possible to build a car that drives only on the power of the sun and is efficient and lightweight, but it din�*t really happen so at som...

The world's first long-range production-ready solar electric vehicle (EV), "Lightyear 0," is being tested before mass production begins this fall, news agency AFP reported.  The test has been conducted under northern Spain's blistering sun. As per the startup, an exclusive run of 946 cars will go into production and reach their drivers in November.  On June 23, the company posted on Twitter: Motoring history looks bright as we welcome guests to the first-ever driving experi...
