Could you explain what you're getting at? Taxis have been a part of modern cities for a long time, and they serve a purpose beyond moving humans "from screen to screen." This looks to me like an attempt to make a more modern, hopefully cheaper taxi.
- yabones 4y agoI think gp is referring to the number of screens on the inside of the vehicle, and how basically everything we do now revolves around a touch screen. Besides, I don't see how this will ever be cheaper than a 2010 prius being driven by some guy. The equipment in this machine will easily cost six figures, and the software will be a constant engineering expense, whereas the traditional taxi is just $50k for the vehicle, another $10-20k for the license (more in large cities), and then you just get a guy to drive it. Maybe economies of scale will drive the price down, but the guy driving the cab has never been the cost center.
- themihai 4y agoIf it works(i highly doubt we will see fsd in the next 100 years) it will run 24/7 with no cost associated with taxi drivers(i.e unreliability, health insurace etc). The tech will only get cheaper so it will innevitably be more cost efficient than a human.
- low_tech_punk 4y agoAre you referring to fsd as frame shift drive from Elite Dangerous?
- Meekro 4y agoProbably it's "Full Self-Driving." The other kind of FSD is a bit further away, I'm guessing. :P
