We were looking at something that wasnt just the number of devices but potential impact it can have based on the size or the ability to carry people. The second part is the establishment of the proof of concept authorization. So while the division one changes would create the prohibition on operating without a permit or approval by the city, the proof of concept authorization would provide the clear path for a company to work with the city. Within the transportation code, it would describe the basic requirements, the requirement for an application, a testing plan, the ability to require fees for both application and, if approved, for the Ongoing Administration of the program.
