It’s a Bird It’s a Plane It’s Elon Musk’s Robo Taxi Stay tuned to see how Tesla and other brands are automating the transportation industry for the future April 7, 2022 Elon Musk announces Tesla’s latest innovation Key robo taxi announced during Tesla’s grand opening at the $1.1 billion Gigafactory located in Austin TX Musk may be referring to a self-driving car.
Which is capable of operating without anyone and being able to pick up passengers and deliver them to their chosen destinations, it’s basically uber or lyft in 2019 without people. Whether their robo taxi would be a Model 3 sedan or a Model Y SUV, it’s understandable.
Because these cars are already offered with full self-driving functions, however during the grand opening they said that it will be a dedicated robo taxi which is going to look quite futuristic if Cyber Truck is anything to go away from futuristic means. There are no door handles during this month’s first quarter earnings call.
The vehicle will be highly optimized for autonomy. A Huma literally won’t be able to steer it. But before we talk more about the taxi of the future, we need to talk about its basic idea. the wanted.
Elon Musk published his master plan in part because a large part of the plan was to make Tesla vehicles fully autonomous, when he plans to produce normal Teslas with full self-driving capabilities, then once they If they acquire FSD, they will create a Tesla network, a taxi service that is owned by Tesla.
Will use vehicles and customer cars that will be hired at a time when speed bumps have always been FSD capability in Musk’s plan, the current approach relies entirely on cameras. are using it.
He’s long been promising full self-driving and customers have even paid twelve thousand dollars for the feature, but see the finish line. He has never heard more false mornings or falsehoods to keep MS going in his own words. Didn’t see the successes he’s seen in self-driving.
He says this is because in order to sell full self-driving you have to solve real world artificial intelligence problems that no one has solved, the entire road system is built for biological neural nets and eyes.
So driving tesla would have to solve neural nets and cameras to an extent at a level of capability or being able to drive the car more than humans could itself depend on a driver better than 2 which might not be too difficult at its worst. Recent promise.
That by the end of 2022 the fsd is full and every paying customer tesla it may just be another case of a tech billionaire crying wolf but you never know he already took over twitter, maybe it In what will be the year of robocars for new ideas, Tesla has decided to pivot from the original self-driving plan to create a new vehicle.
This seems like a good strategy because they are focused on getting the fsd and their current hardware into the existing cars and it is not mentioned that the new vehicle will be built specifically for autonomy which gives a lot of freedom in design drop offs.
Which they are never going to be operated by a human so the driver’s seat and controls are not really needed, it also leaves room to add those features.
Those that don’t necessarily have to be fully functional like face-to-face seating and large sliding doors for easy access. The world is an oyster of Tesla in terms of design and features. How much will it take when it comes to Tesla taxis?
The average consumer cannot afford Tesla even without the cost of both production and use of the FSD, the cost of building a self-driving Tesla is unclear because this information is private within the company, although during his Q1 call Musk explained The design of the vehicle will focus on cost per mile.
He acknowledges that Teslas are inaccessible to many people and claims that introducing robo taxis will provide customers with the lowest cost of transportation per mile, he believes, going taxi, the average price of a bus ride. In terms of cost per mile less than the subsidized bus ticket.
