Yes, if electric cars keep being bought and public transportation stays the same.
Similar to hybrid costs it seems.
I think eventually electric vehicles will vehicles networked and operated by a public / private partnership where the need of a private vehicle is greatly diminished. You would just callup a vehicle for pickup and set the destination. Depending on the vehicle plan you subscribe to, the vehicle might have other passengers or be a private vehicle driven by a AI pilot. This program would offset the cost of batteries, remove the need for large parking lots, and make travel far more efficient.
You basically just reinvented the bus/taxi...
A modern take on it, yes. Someone far more people will use than buses or taxis.
That does seem to be the possible route we are going toward!
Comma AI and AI Pilot are really interesting stuff!
Thank you for explaining!
Probably 50 years from now, but joining say the COSTCO CAR CLUB or something really makes sense. Groceries delivered to your home as well as other shopping also makes sense. I see a future where owning a car is no longer required.
I leave the house like four times a month. Random times. Doctor appointments usually. Been thinking about getting a class 2 ebike. If my Costco membership got me access to a robocar? X miles a month per membership level? That'd be hella sweet.
That's until the AI goes rogue and starts killing people. Then you have to go on a mission to retrieve all the rogue vehicles.
Hopefully they design a system which follows certain safety codes.
Until? The robotaxi in San Francisco already has victims
I was making a cyberpunk 2077 reference, but most people seem to have missed it.
