Autonomy at Scale: The Need for Interop
summary
Renovo describes an automotive-grade platform aiming for SAE Level 4–5 geofenced electric fleets with no steering wheel, validated on a skid‑pad DeLorean called Marty in partnership with Stanford, and argues fleets beat owned cars at scale. Architecture favors distributed edge + cloud interop over a single vehicle “brain,” exchanging vehicle‑to‑vehicle and fleet data at exabyte-scale (roughly eight times Facebook annually) to cut costs toward a target below $0.50 per mile, enabling city‑scale mobility on demand.
