I never thought about car companies being able to use their dealerships for their fleets. That will actually be a pretty huge advantage in smaller towns where there won't be enough business to have the cars driving continuously.
- fma 9y agoIt's not really "their dealerships". A car dealer is an independently owned franchise. None are owned by the car manufacture. Of course, the manufacturer can say "we will give you $x off your car purchase if you let us use your lot" but the reality is the dealership can just tell them to take a hike. Also, manufacturers lease to rental car companies. So that is an option as well. I can imagine Enterprise having unrented cars in a lot that switch to robotaxis...
