Ferrari Luce, Waymo and New AV Rules: Takeaways from TechCrunch Mobility

Friends, sharing tech highlights: key takeaways from TechCrunch Mobility.

I noted several items:
- Ferrari unveiled the Luce — a 5‑seat EV (~$650k) designed by Jony Ive. Reaction was sharp, but pre-orders exist; Ferrari is targeting existing owners, as with the Purosangue.
- Texas introduced licensing and public AV data. Waymo leads with 577 AVs, Avride 317, Nuro 47, Tesla 42. No complaints reported.
- Deals: funding for Ryde; LiveWire acquired Dust Moto; Matternet raised $33M.

Why it matters: regulatory transparency and focus on target customers determine product outcomes.

Can Ferrari and open AV stats reshape the market?
