I think that it could work well for fleet applications like taxi companies and car rental firms, and it would also work well in low volume situations like we will see over the next few years where there are a relatively small number of electric vehicles on the roads.

That seems like it would be a waste not to use it. The next question is about the robo taxi unveil. And even in an autonomous future where the car is perhaps used, instead of being used 10 hours a week, it’s used 50 hours a week. That still leaves over 100 hours a week where the car inference computer could be doing something else.
