I realize others have kinda alluded to it, but you don’t go all in on an untested product.
Imagine if they bought 10k of them, deployed them across the country, scrapped all of the current vehicles, only to find out that they have a fatal flaw, or explode, or [insert thing here].
They won’t get the same density of data with six, and I admit a dozen or two would be better, but this is going to allow them to gather good data and give good feedback on what needs to change before they go all in.
Edit: I forgot to mention, they may not even move forward with these.
