At least for Waymo, the biggest use case is to test the rideshare program with driverless cars with Waze aka a driverless Uber. They can apparently operate in specific cities first, start to monetize and figure out extreme weather conditions and edge cases.
- praneshp 9y agoThis was the point I was making. The first gen can just be rideshare (vs buy the car).
- sagarm 9y agoIMO self driving car ownership won't be cost competitive with ride-sharing/tncs. Why would a car that can drive itself be idle 95% of the time?
- praneshp 9y agoSelf driving cars would still suffer deprecation, wear and tear etc relative to miles driven. I don't see how self-driving will directly change any of those.
- JangoSteve 9y agoThis and the other replies are all valid points, and further illustrate the larger picture of the process involved in getting self-driving cars to the market.
