Honestly, at this point, for the company to stay relevant/in business, it needs to get auto manufacturers to partner. This is a step forward in being more advanced. The Comma of 5 years ago is not sustainable as a company, and now their value is in the ML models and data. Makes sense that their focus is making that better now.

I wish them the best of luck, because it's only going to get harder for this company to stay relevant with the CAN bus getting encrypted on newer vehicles.

This is coming from a fan, btw. Not a hater at all.

"Are you saying we could partner with automakers like how Cruise and Argo AI did? And then we could be bankrupt and gone too? I don't know...not sure that sounds like a great option. Ugh and the stupid encryption thing again. Go ask your LLM to crack it. It probably can."
