“In Southern California, you also have something called the wear rules, where non-zero-emission vehicles going in and out of warehouse hubs can start to incur fines for those warehouses, and so there is a push in the area for electrification, with the port kind…”
Urban: Humanoid Robots Will Spread From Warehouses to Commercial Settings
“Humanoid robots seem like they're going to be everywhere. First in the industry, warehouses, then commercial, you know, pouring your coffee and folding clothes and, you know, the clothing store.”
Shah: Large warehouses have 200 TWh of cost-effective solar potential

“To do 10 minutes, you have to have those products at hand in the time of ordering, and somewhere close to the consumer. So you cannot have one or two major warehouses in the city and then do 10 minutes. That's not possible.”
Hyman: Rent the Runway would not survive closing its fulfillment warehouses
“Like, to us, if you close down your warehouse, you're essentially, rent the runway wouldn't survive. And the work that we've been doing over the last 11 years to build the company would just disappear.”
Ghadimi: VIP Motoring maintains an on-site private circuit to test vehicles
“Well, we have our own warehouse, and in the back of it, we have our own circuit, meaning we can drive the cars for the sake of keeping the tires well, and actually maintaining anything we need, test driving, doing any types of actual maintenance to the cars th…”
