Why would you need to iterate anything in the design of a heavy truck? You are writing software that guides some hunk of metal from point A to point B given sensors I,J,K, GPS, and a database about the road. You don't need to make a special truck, you explicitly want a "kit" to convert existing ICE trucks. This is not Tesla making an electric tractor. Waymo/Uber/Tesla (especially Tesla) have really been a pox on the #1 thing I want: get me from city A to city B without me blankly staring at two lines and slightly adjusting a steering wheel 1% every minute for hours on end. Instead everyone is chasing some use case that e-scooters and e-bikes will likely be superior to in 80% of use cases. It's a problem (urban taxis / urban cars) that city planning and evolution is explicitly moving away from. It's far harder to do, and probably needs convergent infrastructure investment/buildout that would be better pioneered with automated long haul driving. I'm really hoping what this really means is that the long haul problem is being addressed better with other less sexy industry-aligned startups or projects.
