Here Ramon Brena from Mexico. I have a question for Raquel: Some years ago, I interviewed Raul Rojas, a self-driving pioneer researcher from the Free University of Berlin, and we discussed which path would be more of a “low-hanging fruit,” car self-driving or truck self-driving. Raul told me that truck self-driving was challenging because of the high value of whatever was inside the big truck, but I argued for the easier task of driving a known route composed mainly of highways. What do you think?
