They are basically trying to replace trains with their less efficient robotrucks driving between “transfer facilities”. Anyone who needs it “just in time” loads it on a truck and the ones who don’t throw it on a train, generally speaking. In order for them to compete they would have to be somewhere in the middle price wise which, theoretically, shouldn’t be all that hard if they don’t have the cost of a driver. Minus the costs of all the trucks that are going to get disabled once people figure out they can be easily hijacked out in the middle of Texas. I’d imagine this will be a lot harder now since they won’t have VC money to subsidize their business model and have to compete in a highly regulated market where the DOT will shut them down in a heartbeat if they get up to the usual Silicon Valley tricks.
