Technology improvement is a big impetus for human progress. Looking back over the past century, inventions like transistor, rockets, internet, satellites, nuclear power and aviation significantly improved our quality of life.&lt;p&gt;Autonomous vehicles belong to the same league. I am very happy that a non trivial amount of resources are devoted to them and it&amp;#x27;s not just a next SV fad like some ICO &amp;#x2F; Juicero &amp;#x2F; photo sharing app. Rooting for the success of this technology.</text></comment>

Of the 600 Pacifica&amp;#x27;s they have, only ~160 are deployed. So to do 25,000 miles per day, that&amp;#x27;s an average of 156 miles per vehicle.</text></comment>
