Most of us remember our first Waymo moment. In Dallas, last fall, we had our Waabi moment - riding in a driverless Class-8 truck operating on surface streets, handling traffic and even emergency vehicles with calm, human-like precision. That experience deepened our conviction and compelled us to lead @Waabi_ai's next round. Today we’re thrilled to announce that we (@G2VPLLC) are co-leading Waabi’s $750M Series C round with @vkhosla and @khoslaventures, alongside fellow investors @Uber and @nvidia . Their unique, simulation-first approach, is unlocking speed and scale for a technology that has the potential to transform the entire transportation sector. Waabi is achieving in months what took competitors years and many billions of dollars. At scale, Waabi could eliminate thousands of fatalities, invert inflationary transportation costs, and reduce over 0.5GT of CO2e annually in the U.S. alone. We’re honored to continue our journey with @RaquelUrtasun and @lioron, and back a uniquely talented team tackling one of the largest and most significant technology roll-outs of our time. lnkd.in/gCWMKXnU

@bluebyadt your app is down, we are unable to log in, and your tech support line says it’s after hours but that you are open until midnight eastern - which isn’t for another 30 min. You couldn’t actually be any more effective at frustrating your customers. If you aren’t going to support this product, please just shut it down instead of bleeding out your customers with this kind of nonsense.

This may be the best car commercial I've ever seen. It captures the essence of what technology can and should bring to society. It's particularly moving to me because it's for the EX90 by @VolvoCarUSA, the first production vehicle to incorporate LIDAR as the foundation of its ADAS system, developed by @luminartech. Before we led Luminar's Series A, @G2VPLLC, we had dinner with the Volvo CEO to discuss the potential for this technology to drive vehicle deaths to zero. Inspiring to see them follow through five years later with this car and this ad - both incredibly innovative.

Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer. It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced. Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.

Venture capital is playing the long game. Lux was fortunate to lead Matterport Seed round in 2013 (h/t @Eisenberg @speechu). Company went through many ups and downs over next decade, but built market-leading $2B co digitizing real estate. Proud board member through this journey!

We’re excited to announce that Matterport has reached a definitive agreement to be acquired by @CoStarGroup, a leader in real estate marketplaces and data analytics. By joining forces, we’ll accelerate our shared visions of transforming real estate bit.ly/3UrXu81
