Hi frens, welcome back to The Station, your weekly guide to everything going on in the world of transportation.

First up, TechCrunch finally got back onstage and in-person for our fourth annual TC Sessions: Mobility event in San Mateo! Our three-day event (two days in person and one day online) featured some of the best and brightest minds in mobility.

We had live demos from the likes of Arrival, Holoride, Nuro and Zoox, panels about everything from robotaxis and urban air mobility to electric vehicles and micromobility, an early stage startup pitch competition, roundtable sessions, networking and even some news. 

If you weren’t able to catch the event, no worries. We have the highlights. Also, if you're a TC+ subscriber or bought a ticket to the event, you have access to all of the sessions, which are available via on-demand video

Arrival president Avinash Rugoobur revealed the first prototype of the company’s purpose-built electric ride-hail vehicle, built in partnership with Uber. Rugoobur also announced a partnership with UK-based car subscription company Breathe to make the ride-hail vehicles available to drivers.  

Luminar founder and CEO Austin Russell gave a bit of a spicy interview that described how a skeptical eye during peak lidar hype helped them focus on real markets into lidar.

Joby Aviation said it has acquired Avionyx, an aerospace software engineering firm, to bring more software capabilities in-house as it works towards FAA certification.

Nuro co-founder and CEO Jiajun Zhu hinted at plans to expand Nuro’s autonomous delivery operations to LA, plus other key takeaways from his panel. 

Ralph Gilles, chief design officer at Stellantis, gave an insightful interview with TechCrunch's Matt Burns. One item that surprised me: one of the top vehicle designs he wants to be remembered for is the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, which he called an "unsung hero" and described as a "Swiss Army knife."
