“Yes, the typical new car sold loses a dealership about $200.”

They make their money from maintenance and why maintenance is so expensive and so common.
Waymo or any other company running very large fleets of cars would fix this.
They would take the service data each year and invest to improve. Plus you have perfect data on how the car was used with SDC.
Car designs will also change. Today you have to design around the person being able to see when driving.
No longer needed.
