70 on-duty, that probably translates to 200-300 people on staff.

- jefftk 8mo agoI wish they included how many active cars they have at any one time so we could make a proper comparison.
- minwcnt5 8mo agoYou can probably infer the average number of active cars from trips and utilization metrics, which are out there (at least for California I believe they report this). E.g. 450,000 trips/week * 15 min/trip / 0.56 loaded:empty miles / (24760) ~= 1200.
- ameliaquining 8mo agoBut presumably most of the 3,000 cars are on the road at any given time? In which case the point stands, namely, that their remote operations people can't be the ones driving the cars because there aren't enough of them on duty at any given time; therefore, the cars really do drive themselves. (Which I would have thought was never in doubt, but I suppose some people are really determined to be skeptics.)
