So they're designed to not be at all driven by human beings, whereas self-driving car, but not fully self-driving is obviously, and that's where we are at the regulatory stage, is it's still supervised by human.

And I've driven nearly all of the electric cars on the market these days for... you know, for various work trips, et cetera, and it does watch that your eyes are on the road and things like that so you can't just drop off.
