QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Our expectation is that full autonomy will maybe take a couple of decades. In the meantime, it will be ADAS [advanced driver assistance systems] that improves people’s lives for commuting, and for delivery of goods. So it’s a stepping stone for us to reach full autonomy.”

—Hull Xu, chief financial officer of Cepton, on the future of the autonomous-vehicle sector in “Conversations in motion: Safe, autonomous driving for everyone”
