Bull points
- We know that there's difficulty hiring into these roles, these skilled labor roles, and that automating elements of these workflows are becoming a growing need just for companies to continue to be able to fulfill the demand that they're seeing from e-commerce and the like, the growing demand.
- And we are increasing the focus that we have in getting vehicles into the hands of customers like GLS. That's what we'll be doing for the continuation of 2022 with these being the early proof points that, as you heard in the video, that the products are delivering to the expectation that, for example, a 3PL, a fulfillment center like GLS has.
- An autonomous vehicle really unlocks the opportunity for us to address labor challenges that we have never been able to address. Our vehicles have always needed an operator. Not needing an operator has opened an endless possibility of opportunities for us.
