  Good point. At 2 trips per day for 300M Americans over 7 days, that would put the rideshare takeover at ~4.2Bn. If we extrapolated based on the referenced graph and exponential growth, that would put the takeover at 2029 :) Its safe to assume that the limiting factors will soon become sourcing of components of the perception and control stacks.

    Yeah, I wonder how much money they're pouring into lidar production. Particularly considering that they've partnered with Hyundai, Stellantis, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volvo.

  In terms of geographic area. It's still only open to the public in three places, with Austin on wait-list status.
