Its complicated from ubers perspective though. Their product is "transportation as reliable as running water". How long until autonomy becomes that reliable?
Thinking specifically about:
Weather,
Supply shocks (morning/evening rush hour, concerts,
professional sports games, parades)
- amluto 9y ago> Their product is "transportation as reliable as running water". Running water is very reliable. AWS can't keep a reliability zone working that reliably, and that's a rather easier problem than transportation.
- icebraining 9y agoThing is, they don't have to rely 100% on autonomy. They can start introducing autonomous cars, in competition with human drivers, and adjust that number dynamically on an hourly basis. With the higher profits of those rides, they could even pay the human drivers more during those "supply shocks", as a kind of self-funded surge pricing, to fill up those gaps.
