Their "master plan" is for people to rent out their cars through a full-autonomy based ride sharing network.
If they can do it, you're probably looking around $0.25/km end-user price, which is pretty competitive with public transit.
- ufo 8y agoThere is no way individual transportation will ever be as efficient as public transportation in an urban setting. If their math says that autonomous vehicles will be cheaper than buses then it must be ignoring that autonomous buses will also be cheaper and more efficient than they are now.
- wyldfire 8y agoYes but there will still likely be a market willing to pay the near-2018-public-transit price for a private ride in 2028 -- even if that represents a premium over 2028 public transit rates.
