How to read this map ⌄

Each station is one layer of the robotics stack, and its number counts the companies in it. The tiers read bottom-up, from data sources to what runs in the field.
A line joins two layers that share companies, ones selling a real product in both. Its number says how many, and thicker lines mean more. Hover a line to see who; click it to keep the list open.
+Zoom into a station, or click it, to open it. Companies only in that layer ring the station; companies that also work elsewhere sit on the line to that other layer.
A company in four or more layers (today only NVIDIA) draws no lines. It sits inside every layer it works in instead.

The ring is companies only in Testing & safety. Ones on a line also work in the layer it leads to.
