1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Mobili yesterday had a pretty key announcement a new deal,

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: a deal to the tune of nine hundred million dollars

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: combining cash MOBILEZ shares to buy Menty Robotics and the

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: dealers expected to be closing their first quarter of twenty

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: twenty six. We're still in gains up three times percent,

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: where significantly off.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 3: Of our hives.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: As the market digests what this deal really means. We've

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: got the perfect person. We're asking what it means. I'm

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: non Shashow has here with us Mobile CEO. Is wonderful

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: time and time with you, Sam.

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: Wonderful to be with your Carolinaded.

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Why is it right for you to go from autonomous

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: driving into the world of robotics.

16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 4: Well mobilizing AI company in the field of autonomous driving

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 4: driving assist the full spectrum of a computer vision and

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: AI to control cars and human ideopolitics has been recognized

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: in the past two or three years as a complementary

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: and Mobili wants to It's not only another growth engine,

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: but from a technological point of view, if you are

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 4: an actor in this area of physical AI, you want

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: to then extend it to the full scope of physical AI,

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: and I believe that robotics, humanoids, they have a great future.

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Now maybe it's a long term plate that it's not

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: you know, a year from now, but I believe it

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: has a significant, exciting future. And from Mobili there's synergetic

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: areas in infrastructure, in AI, in software, in AI talents.

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: So from Mobiliz this is a great move.

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, in many ways, people say you

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: think that because you helped found menty your son's work

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: at MENTI help me get comfortable with that because many

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: have thrown such accusations. Elon must sway sometimes previous acquisitions and.

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: Not liked it.

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: Well, it's called the related party transaction. Has been done

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: in the past and will be done in the future,

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: and there are ways to handle it, like being recused from.

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: Decision, which I did and so forth.

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: And you know, my son has a zero point zero

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: zero zero zero one percent is just an employee, so

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: it's not a big deal. You know, he graduated from

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: computer science and he wanted to do some work and

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: go work for a company that is very, very strong

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: in AI, working on the future of physical AI. So

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: it makes sense. But you know that is really immaterial.

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: The material part is the scope of AI. You know,

47
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: physical AI includes humanoids, includes autonomous driving, and it makes

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: a lot a lot of sense. Mobili over the years

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: was always looking for a new growth engine, right for example,

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: take computer vision and applied maybe to security areas in

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: cameras and so forth. But we never found something that

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: really clicked, found something that has significant modes, that has

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: a significant term, and humanoids is becoming that click is

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: becoming this.

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: Area where are you coming and grow?

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: You know, I've been talking for years about you know,

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: mobilized existing footprint and then it's go to market in

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: the future. What's the go to market for mentee?

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 4: Well, we see to go to market in two phases.

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: The first phase is structured environments like warehouses, assembly plants, retail,

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: where the number of tasks are finite are also understood

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: in advance. What are the tasks that the customer is interested?

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: A customer will buy a fleet of robots, not just

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: one robot, and you can customize per customer that I

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: think based on pocs that the mentee has been doing.

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: If you look at the demonstrations that have been showing

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: like robots picking boxes, moving them from place to place.

68
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: You would essentially just sell the hardware.

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: A seller robot either sell or Lisa robot.

70
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: Right.

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: We believe that the manufacturing costs in a reasonable volume

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: of tens of thousands of robots would be twenty thousand dollars.

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: So this gives a lot of flexibility in a business model.

74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: So this is phase one. We believe it will start

75
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty eight. Phase two is unstructured environments like

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: home use. That is much more complicated because the tests

77
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: are open ended.

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: You need to continuously learn, so.

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: It's not that you can prepare yourself to all the

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 4: possible tasks a home in a home use, so you

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: need new technology. So it's not that the same technology

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: you use for structured environments. And this is one of

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 4: the things that I showed in my keynote, a technology

84
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: that Minty, and this is why Minty is called Minty

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: from mentory. The robot is watching passively watching a human

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: showing a new task, and the video goes up to

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 4: the cloud. In the cloud, there's a foundation model that

88
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: takes the video, moves it into a simulator, trains over

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: the simulator. Today it's a few hours in the future,

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: a few minutes goes back to.

91
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: The robot and the robots perform the test.

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: Let's go back to your core business and on this

93
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: week in video showed us a full stack solution autonomous driving.

94
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: You know, they make arguments that their software and hardware

95
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: competencies will make them win. Your evaluation of what they're

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: offering against what you plan to do costs for mile

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 5: basis how worried you are.

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 3: I'm not worried.

99
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: Competition, I believe is always good. It kind of ignites

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: the market. In my keynote, I had Christian Zenger, the

101
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: CEO of Folkswagen Autonomously Cars, chairman of Moya, come to

102
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: the stage and talk about one hundred thousand vehicles in

103
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 4: the next eight years, one hundred thousand robotaxes in the

104
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: next eight years. Talked about that we are almost there

105
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: in removing the driver, going driver less in Q three.

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but are they using mobili Yeah, of course, this

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 5: is clad, iron clad, This is a mobilize.

108
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: There are one hundred id bus vehicles in multiple locales.

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: All of them is mobil mobilized tack and we.

110
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 4: Are really on the way of removing the driver and

111
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: a very cost effective solution. Our sensor set is you know,

112
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: ten thousand dollars twelve thousand dollars. Compute is very very

113
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: cost cost optimized mobilized chips are one tenth of the

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 4: cost of competing chips. We developed our imaging radars which

115
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: are the best on the planet, those imaging radars. So

116
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: I feel very confident that we are on our way

117
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: to a new growth engine.

118
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: With the robotax your striking deals.

119
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: We understand as us all to make it that you

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: struck a deal with the nine million cars for safety software.

121
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: Okay us automaker that are three to four no pick one.

122
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: But I think that this nine million units is a

123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: big news because we are talking about the evolution of AIDAS.

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: So aid US today is a front facing camera. Maybe

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: you have a front facing radar. This nine million units

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: is called surround AIDAS. You are taking a front facing camera,

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: four parking cameras, multiple radars, a very strong value proposition

128
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: to the customer, and it replaces multiple ECUs in the car.

129
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: It replaces the aco F parking AEO OF for.

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: Driving monitoring system, hands free driving on highways, safety.

131
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: Functions for the next five years.

132
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: So this is the evolution of AIDAS and it's high

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: volume We have two customers in the past year, Volkswagen

134
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: and this US customer nineteen million units.

135
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: This is big AI twenty one.

136
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: We're hearing that in Vidia Misto Loong is quite interested

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: in another one of your companies. He's here this week.

138
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: What can you tell us about how talks are going?

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: Did you manage to speak to Jensen while here?

140
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: You know, the Israeli press is not as tight as

141
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 4: the US press, So don't believe anything you're reading the

142
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: Israeli press. No, no, that there are talks, talks and

143
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: Vidia talks with others, but no, it's nothing even close

144
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: to talking about it in the press.

145
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: How do you think all I investors would feel about

146
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: an acquisition of AI twenty one by.

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 4: An It has nothing to do or I twenty one

148
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: is working on foundation models and agents, has nothing to

149
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: do with the activity of Mobilize. Activity of Mentee Mobili

150
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: is physical.

151
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: AI. You're a busy man. You're a busy man.

152
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: Busy man for the time here at C s Las Vegas,

153
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: Amon Shashua mobil I C e O. Thank you very much.
