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 seeing this- in very mainstream use. end of this decade, i will come find you and find out. arjo, wh...

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 didn't have any money, we didn't have any experience so besides having to engineer the car, we also had to build the company, and we've been trying to do the engineering of the vehicle and building the company at the same time in a way that...

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, we're 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. now, arjo, we're going to come to you and you've made such great strides with your prototype model o...

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, we're going to come to you and you've made such great strides with your prototype model of the lightyear solar car. it's 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 solar car? so, it's a very fair question, right? we were founded with the mission to provide clean m...

We actually offer a lot more. for one, we're 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, we're 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 gets you up to 0—60mp in mid—four seconds. i mean, it's fast, so... we've got a question from ...
