Self-Driving Cars with Fexingo: Autonomous Vehicles, Lidar, and Mobility Tech

Lucas and Luna dissect the business of autonomous mobility — not the hype, but the unit economics, sensor supply chains, and regulatory timelines that separate viable players from vaporware. Each episode opens with fresh data: lidar sensor prices from Yole Group, NHTSA accident reports, Waymo and Cruise fleet expansion figures, and the latest SPAC filings from mobility-tech startups. Lucas, a journalist covering automotive tech for a decade, presses the numbers: 'Is L4 deployment actually accelerating, or are we just seeing more test miles reported?' Luna, an engineer turned product strategist, matches him with on-the-ground sourcing — what a procurement manager at a Tier 1 supplier told her about LiDAR yield rates, or why a city planner in Austin chose to restrict autonomous delivery bots. Together, they build a grounded picture of who's winning the talent war (former Tesla Autopilot engineers now at Aurora), which chip fabs are securing long-term contracts for radar SoCs, and why insurance premiums for robo-taxis remain a hidden drag on unit economics. They don't forecast a future; they interrogate the present. Can the autonomous-vehicle industry survive a capital winter? When does a prototype become a product? This show is for the investor, engineer, or policy analyst who needs to know where the puck is — not where the press release says it is.
