      ​@@jooptablet1727yea, which makes the claim that this will be cheaper than buses even more absurd. No shot that individual cars with specific destinations will be cheaper than a bus serving many people driving a general route. Even if it is somehow cheaper to operate than a bus (it won’t be), those savings won’t be passed on to the consumer, they’ll be captured by Tesla as higher profits.

      Lol totally. I love that his argument is essentially “our costs will be low, so the user won’t pay a lot,” whereas what it will actually be is “our costs will be low, but we’ll charge the user as much as possible, so our profits will be high.” Low costs=low prices is the same level of BS as trickle down economics, there’s no incentive to pass savings on to the consumer, so any gap between costs and prices will just be captured as profits.

    Look at all the videos of the taxi, its not in any normal traffic conditions the scenes are way to perfect but also slow. try putting this car on the highway or busy street outside homedepot or walmart… then the show begins lmao. See atleast with Waymo they installed a whole bunch of crap on the car to get it to rub comfortable.

      If the technology works for this, why wouldnt it also work for a bus. Autonomos busses.
      Or just buy extra long bi-articulated busses, so ypu can reduce your drivers by more than a third

    is he comparing cost per mile of the whole bus or per passenger? If the figures he mentions are for the whole vehicle, then Tesla cannot compete with the bus. AT ALL!

      EXACTLY! The economics of scale of buses are inconvenient to his sales pitch, so he tries to just gloss over it.

    I see the city buying a bunch of these. Here in Miami there’s a service similar to this using Model Xs. It’s like uber but free and used only locally, however there are dozens of these throughout many cities in Miami so it’s possible to get around and do short trips. The only difference is the human driver in a model x and this being autonomous

    People want to own things, not rent everything from the elites and corporations. When you own something, no matter what it is, you care for it. It means something to you, you take good care, it has a sentimental value, you love things you own. You don’t care if you don’t own it. If you don’t own anything, you don’t care about anything. That’s communism and the globalist WEF agenda.
