I wonder what the non-subsidized price of a Waymo ride would be.
- whatshisface 11mo agoLower prices for recommended destinations, ads played during trip, LLM engages the customer.
- tonyhart7 11mo agoearlier price is steep because they still have huge RnD cost but if we scale that to one planet, it would been cheaper in the long run
- nemothekid 11mo agoAs I understand it, unless the fleet size dramatically increases, the cost of a ride is completely determined by supply/demand.
- davidw 11mo agoHow long does it take to recoup the cost of the automobile and all the tech stuff they add to it?
- nemothekid 11mo agoAs I understand it, whatever it costs, is strictly less than the market dynamics of providing the ride today. There is probably some market equilibrium where they could reasonably provide <5 minute pickups for waymo users that would both cover the cost of the automobile and still be less than the price of an uber today.
