"Thoughts after several rides in a driverless taxi:
Congratulations to the entire team for achieving this landmark milestone in automotive innovation. This breakthrough truly reshapes the future of transportation."
The implications are significant and disruptive, with potential to transform the entire transportation landscape. Safe scaling of this service could rapidly extend autonomous rides across the nation.
However, it remains astonishing that an affordable, best-selling vehicle—starting at roughly $38k—could complete paid autonomous rides in Austin without a driver at the controls.
Based on regular use of full self-driving technology, consistent performance and comfort were expected.
though improvements such as flexible pin placement or the ability to change a trip mid-ride would be welcome.
Who is doing this analysis?
I'm sharing my personal experience after several rides. It's been interesting to see how driverless tech compares to today's systems, and I'm just curious to contribute my two cents to the discussion
What are the top 3 driverless (autonomous) car companies?
It's tricky since the landscape is evolving, but generally Waymo, Tesla, and Cruise are often cited as leaders. Each brings unique strengths to the autonomous tech race.
