Swapping battery stations, not autonomous driving, keep large fleets moving during outages. When a 10-minute grid loss stalls a 10,000-vehicle fleet, 63% run out of charge, while pre-planned swapping maintains 96% of trips. Outage Scenario and the Case for Swapping In a recent pilot I observed in the Bay

In 2024, California enacted a law that lets police ticket autonomous vehicles directly, shifting fines from drivers to manufacturers. Human drivers still receive tickets personally, while autonomous fleets face corporate liability, a shift that could reshape startup economics.
