Week 11: Direct Delivery Sprint | Shenzhen Supplier Trip Complete | AV Detection Pipeline Validated
Today: Wednesday, March 12, 2026Q1 Progress: Week 11Target: July 1, 2026 - Launch ReadyStatus:DIRECT DELIVERY BUILD PHASE
📊 Executive Summary - Q1 2026 Week 11 Status
🎯 OBJECTIVE: Be Ready for the Big Bang Moment — When unsupervised FSD
is released, Autolane will be ready. By July 1, 2026 we will have both
self-delivery and direct delivery operational, ready for launch with a pilot QSR and
grocery customer. Direct Delivery Go microservice actively under construction with 9 open
PRs. Harbor Lockers integration designed. Vehicle Registry and Vehicle Coordination
services specified and scaffolded.
🏭 WEEK 11 HIGHLIGHTS: Brad & Chad completed Shenzhen supplier trip —
secured Enster Electronics for camera manufacturing (20+ years experience). Commerce
parking gate issues resolved. v4 ride hail sign progress. Reolink camera sign
deployments begin end of March. AV ride-hail detection pipeline fully validated
end-to-end. Ops Portal shipped with RBAC, org switcher, and site wizard for rapid zone
scaling. New engineer Rauf onboarded for Direct Delivery backend.

Major Achievements - Weeks 6-11 ✅
✅Shenzhen Supplier Trip: Secured Enster Electronics (20+ yr camera mfg), resolved commerce parking gate issues, v4 ride hail sign progress
✅AV Ride-Hail Detection Validated: End-to-end detection pipeline fully tested and validated — Vertex AI + CosmosReason2-8B VLM operational
✅Direct Delivery Service Scaffolded: Go microservice with Gin + Ent ORM, 11 entity schemas, foundation layer, WorkOS auth, fleet CRUD — 9 active PRs
✅Harbor Lockers Integration Designed: Gap analysis complete with answers from Harbor team (Dylan Bozarth) — BLE SDK, PIN validation, webhooks
✅Ops Portal Shipped: RBAC APIs, org switcher, onboarding wizard, site wizard modal — enabling rapid zone scaling
✅AV Detection Improvements: Departure detection with stall-level state tracking, Vertex AI inference refactor, pipeline fixes
✅Camera Testing at Stanford: Completed Feb 13 — hardware validated, going with Reolink short-term
May: Consumer app direct delivery flow, end-to-end integration testing
June: Production hardening, July 1 readiness validation
🎯 Objective 1: Be Ready for the Big Bang Moment
When unsupervised FSD is released, Autolane will be ready. By July 1, 2026: self-delivery
+ direct delivery operational, pilot QSR and grocery customer launch-ready.
💡 THE STRATEGY: Launch both self-delivery (consumer's
Tesla picks up their order) and direct delivery (retailer-operated
autonomous fleet delivers via smart lockers). By July 1 we will be ready for launch with
a pilot QSR and grocery customer — and positioned for the moment Tesla releases
unsupervised FSD to enable fully autonomous last-mile delivery at scale.
