Lucid delivered a remarkably small number of vehicles in Q1, at 3,903. It produced 5,500. The company blamed much of this on a supplier's lack of inventory, which cost it 29 days of disruption.

Kinetic's CEO Nikhil Naikal states, 'We have eyes, and when we need to correct vision, we go to an optometrist... In the same way, this is a digital prescription to correct the errors of the car's understanding of the world around it.'

DoorDash's investment in Also aims to develop and accelerate the deployment of autonomous delivery at scale, focusing on areas not yet fully solved for, including intersections of roadways and bike lanes.

Anybody who's regularly driven in winter conditions knows the importance of keeping windshield washer fluid topped up. Keeping the salty grime stuck to your windshield and rear window to a minimum is crucial for visibility, especially in inclement weather. In the case of an autonomously operating vehicle, ensuring visibility for the vehicle's sensors could similarly be a matter of life and death. That's particularly true for Tesla's Cybercab ride-hailing vehicles, which rely entirely on camera feeds.

Tesla is reportedly designing its Cybercab production line to manufacture hundreds of the autonomous vehicles each week once mass production begins. The effort is underway at Gigafactory Texas in Austin as the company prepares to start building the Robotaxi at scale.
