Why would they keep driving at all times with no passengers? How is that ecologically smart or sensible from a business perspective?

- hadlock 3y ago1) collect additional driving data. driving data is the moat for autonomous driving 2) move to a location where you're statistically most likely to pick up your next passenger, to reduce average wait time
- paganel 3y agoThat was always the selling point about autonomous cars, i.e. that they could be driven 24/7, almost. There was no selling point related to the environment backw when the hype about self-driving cars really got going, I'd say 2016-2018-ish, you weren't getting people talking about taking the tram instead of getting driven around by these things.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThe whole point of having them on a limited basis is to gather data. No useful data is gathered when they aren't driving.
