Part 9/12:
The Economy of Tesla's Autonomous and Robotics Vision
Tesla’s unique approach to AI and hardware development is complemented by a strategy to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The proposed robotaxi fleet could operate at a mere 20 cents per mile, fundamentally altering the economics of ride-hailing, logistics, and personal transport.
Tesla’s proficiency in manufacturing, battery development, and software integration positions the company to not only lead in the electric vehicle market but also to dominate the future of autonomous and robotic transportation. Notably, the company’s investments in distributed inference computing and AI hardware—such as the AI-5 computer—further consolidate its technical edge.
