it does nothing for the people who don't want to own a car and just want a car and computer driver at their beck and call.
Classic disruption (not in the sense that it is often used) would be to start with a niche so limited that it doesn't seem useful to almost anyone, and then expand from that use case.
If you could make a Tesla owner's commute from SF to Sand Hill Road a much better experience (via autonomous-only toll road), I'd say that's one hell of a start.
- Aloha 9y agoThis process to build such a highway in california is beyond even the considerable means of Elon Musk - just the land acquisition and environmental review costs are staggering.
- njarboe 9y agoThus the Boring Company was born.
- ghaff 9y agoDedicated infrastructure for autonomous driving is a non-starter. However, allowing full hands-off on certain roads, perhaps only in good weather, would still be a feature that people would spend a lot of money for. It's not clear at what point people will be legally allowed to watch a video on their commute but we can probably see a path to getting there.
- chillydawg 9y agoWow - a toll road that excludes everyone except the super ultra rich who can afford the latest shiny cars. Exactly what California needs.
