What's more surprising in there is that it's not Waymo doing this. It's hard to argue that Waymo isn't way ahead of the rest in self driving. And this outfit putting self driving semi trucks on the road is [checks notes] Aurora Innovation.

"We have something like 2.7 million tests that we run the system through" and "two trucks without a driver".
