Sounds good, hope they are legit and succeed. However, raising money since 2024 and L2 in 2027, basically adaptive cruise control, doesn't speak much. They say they need just basic sensors.....ok so what's minimum requirement? Easy to scale, cheap to implement, cool do it then. Global is claimed, even local isn't achieved. Claims are big, results are non existent
