With robotaxi you get a driver that:
- never gets tired
- never gets distracted
- never gets drunk
- never gets upset
- never falls asleep
- has reaction time in milliseconds
- ...
Of course it has tons of problems of its own, but it's not like price is the only advantage over human driver.
- offsign_p 4y agoGiven the article, I'm not sure "never falls asleep" is a good example
- yellow_postit 4y agoThose are also all reasons for competing on price from the perspective of the fleet operator — robos (should) be able to run longer and cheaper than these pesky humans. I am hopeful we will see improved safety but rather skeptical that will come in urban robo fleets ahead of highway longhaul cargo.
