"[Uber CEO Travis Kalanick] recently told me that in 2020, if Telsas are autonomous, he'd want to buy all of them. He said all 500,000 of estimated 2020 production, I'd want them all, but he couldn't get a return call from Elon." — Steve Jurvetson Kyle Samani completely ignores the diagram he spent so much time talking about. He's convincing himself that being able to park his $200k autonomous car a few miles away in free parking—summoning it to pick him up when he needs it—means he won't need to use a ride hailing service. I wonder if he will still feel that way when he's been standing at the curb for half an hour waiting for his personal car to arrive, while the rest of the (non-car-owning) dinner party have hailed autonomous vehicles and departed within three minutes of leaving the restaurant? Given the choice between buying a $200k car, or paying a few dollars every time I want to travel somewhere, I think I'd prefer the paid rides. The $200k could be invested in something productive in the meantime.
