…in serving the robotics industry. We want to make integration easier, faster, and more efficient, whether it's for last-mile delivery or service robots indoors. We've seen robots in mines—cold, dark environments where you don't want to send a person. With a robot equipped with the right sensors, you could get help. We want to make systems as safe as possible. We don't think it's just lidar, but we should be a part of most autonomous systems.

…any given moment, estimated Parallel Systems. To make freight deliveries economical, today’s railroads typically focus on moving shipping containers more than 500 miles. Parallel said it has identified an opportunity to bring more business to rail by improving the unit economics over shorter distances. A more flexible system would alleviate pressure on highway infrastructure and the trucking industry as it faces increasing demand and a shortfall of 80,000 U.S. drivers. The company said its autonomy system would enable trains to compete more directly with the flexibility of trucking. Today, trucks move most of the nation’s freight. Transferring a portion of…
