About 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.

The Edge Computing Revolution In Self Driving Cars
We explore why the future of autonomous driving lives on the silicon chip inside your car, not in a distant data center. With Tesla’s camera-only approach and traditional automakers investing billions in onboard compute, we break down the physics of latency and why edge AI is the only way to handle real-time decision making at highway speeds. We look at the specific trade-offs between processing power, heat dissipation, and safety redundancy that are shaping the next generation of mobility tech.

The Hidden Cost of Self-Driving Data Centers
We explore the massive energy footprint behind autonomous vehicle AI. While robotaxis get the headlines, their underlying neural networks consume gigawatts of power in data centers. Lucas and Luna break down the electricity bills, cooling infrastructure, and grid constraints that threaten to slow the rollout of self-driving tech by October 2026.

The AI Emergency Brake in Self-Driving Cars
With Microsoft’s Satya Nadella recently calling for an emergency brake on AI models, the autonomous vehicle industry faces a critical inflection point. On this episode of Fexingo Business, Lucas and Luna explore how self-driving cars are implementing their own version of this safety protocol. We look at Tesla’s current stock performance as a proxy for market sentiment, analyze why robotaxi fleets like Waymo are slowing down rather than speeding up, and examine the specific engineering trade-offs between pure vision systems and LiDAR redundancy. The conversation drills into one concrete decision: how manufacturers define 'edge cases' that trigger immediate system disengagement. This is not about whether self-driving tech works in ideal conditions, but how it handles the messy reality of human driving. We break down the data from recent regulatory filings and company disclosures to show you exactly where the brakes are being applied, and why that friction might be the key to unlocking true autonomy by late 2027.
