The very instant the “just around the corner” hype dies on lvl 5 automation, Uber is going to drop dead as a ride sharing service. Tesla will take a hit, as will all of the companies scrambling to be first up the automation ladder. The torrent of VC and corporate money will become a trickle where it doesn’t just dry up.
All of which is just to say that those voices pointing out the technical challenges are up against seriously desperate interests. This could get messy.
- ghaff 9y agoTesla I'm not so sure. I expect the hype/valuation is based more on EV leadership. But Uber? Probably? Especially with new leadership, I don't really understand the logic of continuing to subsidize rides below cost if you're not trying to maintain the fantasy that some miracle is going to happen that radically alters the cost structure.
