Software 2.0

Our goal is to become the default way goods move through a city. However, most robotics systems operate in structured environments - roads with lane lines, warehouses with fixed routes, or factories designed for predictability. Cities are the opposite: dense, dynamic, and unstructured. This makes the traditional robotics stack brittle and slow.

That’s why we believe any scalable, real-world autonomy must be data-driven. Andrej Karpathy describes this well in his blog post on Software 2.0. Our focus is on turning our massive, diverse dataset into end-to-end navigation policies and simulation systems that learn directly from data. With our scale and global footprint, we’re uniquely positioned to lead this next generation of autonomy.
