Market Impact: The Shift Toward Autonomous, Cost-Effective Vehicles
The potential for Tesla to deliver a sub-$30,000 vehicle capable of full autonomy would be a game-changer. Such a vehicle would offer consumers the option to own a traditional car, with the added benefit of autonomous operation, significantly lowering transportation costs—sometimes to a dollar per mile or less.
This evolution suggests that conventional consumer vehicles that can’t drive themselves will soon become obsolete. The trend points toward a future where self-driving is not just a luxury but a standard feature—fundamentally transforming personal and commercial transportation.
