Chris Urmson: Yes, yes. No, this isn’t – I wouldn’t think of this as kind of the dreaded, boy the edge cases are going to get you. It’s going to take forever to get the last bit. This is not really that at all. We obviously take safety very seriously. We want to make sure we have a solid validation particularly across the driving capability. And as we have been building the test suite for that. We realized it was taking us a little bit longer than we had expected for us to develop some of those tests and kind of get them to the point where we could operate them and get ourselves conviction that the system, would work the way we expected to on the road. And so, the majority of the work across the Aurora Driver is going to be complete.
There will be a small subset of the team that continues to work on this, while the rest of the team is really moving on to how do, we make the Aurora Driver operate more places. How do we have it ready to expand other lanes, how we bring the cost out of the system. So – because of the kind of pre-revenue state of our company, you’re getting a little deeper view into some of the internal engineering sausage-making here. But in terms of the impact on our time to building our business and growing commercial, we don’t see this as an impact. We just thought it was important to be transparent about it.
Jeffrey Osborne: Got it. And just to follow-up, I think, on Mark’s question before, the contractual obligations or contracts that you have in place for ’25 as you sign those. Are there any binding issues like, for whatever reason, let’s say, something is delayed a quarter or two? Are there – is there any recourse that the fleets have in the event that there was a delay? I guess I was – contracts by year-end if the technology – the Safety Case isn’t fully baked. I thought those would sort of go hand-in-hand, which I think they were previously designed to do?
David Maday: Yes, that’s a great question. Let me answer both. First off, no, there’ll be no element where there’s any liability if we miss dates or our partners needed to adjust. The reason why we do the contracting – to be completely transparent on this, the reason why we want to do the contracting through 2025, is it really helps us define our launch lanes and how much supply that we need to order. So, it’s not unlike how many trucks a shipper wants to – or I mean, a carrier wants to order from a particular customer, as they build out their networks. So what we’re doing is working with each of our customers to build out like their network road map through ’25. We’re actually going well beyond that, but we want to try to solidify through ’25 so that we have the right plans in place so that we can make sure we have the right components, sufficient supply.
And then we provide that feedback both to our OEMs and our component suppliers as well. So, it’s more about planning than anything else, but we also thought it was important to represent the fact that each year, we continue to make really good progress commercially. And one of the indications of progress is, hi, we’ve got a kind of a solidified plan through ’25 and beyond. So that’s what we’re focused in on.
Chris Urmson: And just to add to what Dave was saying is we think about that engagement with the partners, the ongoing pilot programs allow us to get feedback from them on, how do we adjust our engineering and product development plans to maximally meet their needs. And then to the question asked earlier, as we think about the initial lanes, we’ve talked first, the launch lane is South Houston and then Fort Worth, El Paso. And then, it’s really how do we deliver the maximum value for our customers by looking at, okay, do we expand west and north to Phoenix? Or do we go East to Atlanta and working with them for their priorities for these critical initial customers.
Jeffrey Osborne: Got it. That’s very helpful. I appreciate Chris.
Chris Urmson: Thanks for the question.
Operator: Thank you. We reached the end of our question-and-answer session. And ladies and gentlemen, that does conclude today’s teleconference and webcast. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
