Really can't overstate how problematic robotaxis become at scale:
"Urban traffic is constrained by the fact that getting around by car either requires (expensively) paying someone else to drive or (inconveniently) driving oneself. Without such constraints the result could be brutal gridlock."

Lucid are the only ones AFIK to tap into formula e know-how and transfer technology to the consumer market
I keep my fingers crossed more automakers will partner up with Lucid, not just to tap them for their software but also ALL of their various EV powertrain components. The amount of range and performance Lucid is able to crank out *efficiently* is unparalleled.
Peek the size of that EDU.
