Opening

Lane: Keeping your eyes on the sensors and your mind on the road.

Otto: I'm Otto.

Lane: And I'm Lane.

Lane: Leading off tonight, Tesla is ending production of its Cybertruck and refocusing on the Cybercab, with production of the electric trucks set to stop in the middle of 2027, according to the NY Times. This story is also being covered by The Motley Fool, Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Autos.

Otto: That is a massive shift in strategy for their fleet.

Otto: Our next story: Waymo continues its push into the driverless vehicle market, Bloomberg reports.

Lane: They are certainly committed to the long game.

Lane: Up next — the Tesla Cybercab is being reported as appearing in metro Detroit, the Detroit Free Press says. This is also being noted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Otto: I wonder how the locals will react to seeing those on the streets.

Lane: They might be a bit of a shock.

Otto: This just in, an Ohio bill would set statewide rules for driverless cars, according to Cleveland 19 News.

Lane: The regulators certainly will be watching that closely.

Lane: Now, to a new lightweight vision network that has been developed to improve autonomous vehicle perception in complex traffic environments, Bioengineer.org reports.

Otto: Better perception means much safer trips for everyone.

Otto: Up next — we look at whether physics and artificial intelligence can make autonomous vehicle platooning more reliable, according to EurekAlert.

Lane: Reliability is the name of the game for highway convoys.

Lane: Our final story: Self-driving cars will zoom onto highways sooner than you think, PEI Private Equity reports.

Otto: That is a bold prediction for the future of transit.

Sign-off

Otto: We'll see you tomorrow.

Lane: See you then.
