## Quote — verbatim

> There are what, 10 billion devices in the world? Akash can technically get to all 10 billion... there's no reason why a self-driving car just in idle and charging should not be part of a global computation network.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His answer on Akash's scale ceiling — "effectively limitless" per the host; permissionless design means the only requirement is whether the node can run on the device.
