Calacanis's framing: "The only thing that matters is safety, and the second thing that matters after safety is safety, and the third thing that matters is safety."
Calacanis predicts Uber hands the entire depot/charging/cleaning business to Atoms (Kalanick's post-CloudKitchens vehicle), then acqui-hires it.
The loser wears a hat — Calacanis an inspector hat, Brulte an Uber hat with clappies.

Hyundai Motor Group will mass-produce Level 2++ vehicles equipped with its self-developed autonomous driving AI, "Atria AI," in the second half of 2029.
Level 2++ is not full autonomous driving but rather an "advanced driver assistance feature" where driving responsibility still rests with the driver.
Autonomous driving technology is not a field where software development alone can be immediately applied to production vehicles.
This is in the same family of technology as Nvidia's inference-based autonomous driving model "Alphamayo," unveiled earlier this year.
Park said, "Autonomous driving is not simply a convenience feature but a function directly tied to customer safety and trust," adding, "We will develop autonomous driving technology that customers can trust, based on a virtuous cycle of data, AI, and validation."

Kodiak AI, Inc., a provider of Physical AI-powered autonomous driving technology, recently said it remains on track to launch driverless long-haul commercial service by the end of the year.
The company said its Autonomy Readiness Measure (ARM) for long-haul driverless operations reached 93% at the end of August, up from 91% at the end of July.
The increase to 93% reflects consistent progress in the remaining development, testing and validation activities required to safely launch the Kodiak Driver into long-haul driverless service.
We expect to complete the safety case before year’s end and launch driverless long-haul service."
The Permian Basin is the oil field of west Texas where Kodiak trucks are hauling frack sand.

Tesla TSLA, the electric-vehicle and artificial-intelligence company, climbed approximately 0.7% to $365.865 as Morgan Stanley argued that investors may be overlooking the Semis potential contribution to earnings.
Its 2040 scenario includes 82,000 Semis generating $17 billion in subscription revenue and $7.5 billion in earnings before interest and taxes.
Those projections point to a striking EBIT margin of roughly 44%, making autonomous software the real prizenot truck sales alone.
The picture shows Tesla trading 9.62% above its GF Value of $333.77, suggesting investors already pay a premium for that future potential.
Expensive diesel strengthens the pitch today, but Tesla must still deliver commercial heavy-truck autonomy to turn Morgan Stanleys $17 billion vision into an actual business.

"$6 Diesel...Enter Tesla Semi," analyst Andrew Percoco wrote in a Friday note to clients.
By 2040, Morgan Stanley estimates Tesla could have 82,000 Semis on the road, representing about 13.5% of the addressable autonomous trucking market.
Those vehicles would generate roughly $17 billion in annual software revenue and $7.5 billion in earnings before interest and taxes, the bank projects.
Musk also acknowledged that Tesla Semis will remain a "very small percentage" of the company's total vehicle fleet through the end of this year.
The estimates for Tesla's software opportunity do not include revenue from Semi truck sales or charging infrastructure.

Where does the $12,000–$18,000 per month figure come from?
FSD (Supervised) for consumer vehicles currently runs $99 per month — Morgan Stanley rounds this to approximately $100 in their note.
A single autonomous Semi subscription would therefore generate roughly 120 to 180 times more monthly software revenue than one consumer FSD subscriber.
When does Morgan Stanley expect Tesla Semi to go fully autonomous?
According to the research, Morgan Stanley anticipates full self-driving capability for the Tesla Semi by 2027.

In north China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, home to the country’s largest coal reserves, a vast open-pit mine cuts deep into the earth, shrouded in clouds of dust.
Winters here are long and brutal, with temperatures plunging to as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit).
When dense fog and snow rolled in, visibility could fall so low that drivers had to stop work for fear of a fatal crash.
More than a year on, the performance of the 100-vehicle fleet offers a chance to assess how the technology has fared beyond the pilot stage – and whether it can be scaled up further to help upgrade China’s traditional energy sector.
“The autonomous electric trucks have helped us cut operating costs, improve safety and increase efficiency,” said Zhao Yaozhong, deputy manager for technology at the mine.

Percoco outlined how Tesla could generate between $12,000 and $18,000 per month from each autonomous Semi truck through software licensing alone — dwarfing the approximately $100 per month the company currently charges for its Full Self-Driving subscription on consumer vehicles.
Autonomous Trucking Economics Morgan Stanley’s freight transportation team “published an Insight reinforcing their bullish view on the prospects for Autonomous Trucking and its transformative power for the Freight Transportation industry,” Percoco wrote.
Percoco modeled a per-mile subscription fee of $0.85 to $1.00 for Tesla’s autonomous trucking software.
At approximately 18,000 miles driven per month, each Semi would generate between $12,000 and $18,000 in monthly software revenue.
Commercialization Debate Morgan Stanley’s freight team reinforced a bullish view on the broader autonomous trucking sector.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - Steve Perez, a longtime freight broker and general manager of Fast Port, LLC, has proposed constructing the Smart Bridge, a binational autonomous trade corridor directly connecting the Port of Brownsville, Texas, with Matamoros, Mexico.
The presidential permit leverages a dormant 40-year-old presidential permit held by the Port of Brownsville, eliminating the need for new federal approval processes.
The economic advantage bridges the free trade zone in Matamoros with the foreign trade zone in Brownsville to provide tariff savings, tax deferrals, and simplified customs.
Customs and logistics utilize AI pre-clearance to process shipments in minutes, with real-time tracking by our centralized manufacturing control tower dashboard.
RGG Business Journal Editor Steve Taylor invited Perez on a podcast to expand upon his ideas for the Smart Bridge concept.

How machines acquire that three-dimensional understanding has largely divided 3D Machine Vision into two approaches, both running in production today.
The first is to sense depth directly using hardware that returns 3D data: LiDAR, radar, and 3D cameras.
Two ways to see in 3D Machine Vision 3D sensing systems resolve range in hardware.
Choosing Between 3D Sensing and Depth Inference The choice between 3D sensing and depth inference comes down to the environment and the economics of the job.
As the cost of LiDAR and other sensors falls and depth inference keeps improving, the gap may narrow from both sides.

Future of the Highway Trust Fund Texas express toll lanes P3 success New findings on truck user fees Autonomous trucks progress in California Getting serious about highway safety News Notes Quotable Quote Concession Fees for Express Toll Lane Projects Last month, the Tennessee Department of Transportation selected as its public-private partnership developer for its I-24 express toll lanes, a joint venture of Cintra and Transurban under a 50-year concession.
If express toll lane customers are shielded from paying excessive toll rates for projects that include large concession fees, the cost of those fees will be borne by the public-private partnership (P3) investors.
That does not strike me as ensuring a bright future for P3 express toll lanes.
These projects were developed at a time when Texas’ governor and legislature strongly supported public-private partnerships and express toll lanes.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recommends that commercial drivers use navigation systems designed for trucks and enter relevant vehicle information so that routing can account for the vehicle.
The same development applies to navigation: its value increases when route information can work alongside the rest of the fleet’s operational data.
The agency also advises commercial drivers to scan ahead for traffic problems, work zones, and other hazards.
Commercial drivers may also need information about truck parking, weigh stations, fuel, and other services that passenger-car navigation does not prioritize.
For Trucker Guide, that is the direction of truck navigation: giving commercial drivers and fleet operations access to road information that reflects the realities of moving heavy vehicles.

Maritime Transport is developing plans for the facility on Anzani Avenue in Felixstowe, after receiving an initial £50,000 contribution from Freeport East towards preparatory work.
Funding will support planning work The £50,000 contribution is not construction funding for the charging hub itself.
Maritime Transport said the funding would allow it to examine in greater detail what a full-scale charging facility at the site could look like.
Charging infrastructure around ports The proposed development comes as the road-freight industry faces growing pressure to establish charging infrastructure capable of supporting battery-electric HGVs on major freight corridors.
Maritime Transport has already been expanding its electric HGV operations under its Maritime ZERO programme and developing charging infrastructure at a number of its own locations.
