Free taxi with a Prime membership?
At least discounted.
These big corps want to turn everything into a subscription service.
Don't tell me public buses where you live don't have a "subscription service"
@@Ometecuhtli No they don't. Here we have pay as you use model.
It’s already been going for over a year in California
Right, pre-mapped roads only at limited speeds. Will not scale well.
Why? Google drives and maps all roads. Amazon is already driving them to deliver stuff to people. Its just a long task, not an impossible one.
We are at the beginning of a massive change. Doubters will be left behind. Position yourself well my friends.
@@mrmonkeboy not impossible, just impossibly slow compared to Tesla’s vision based autonomous driving endeavors.
Actually it’s fine. Pre-map streets of major cities like sf, Seattle, nyc, Chicago, Miami and roll it out. They don’t need the suburbs.
does it self fuel too or just strand its passengers 🤷♂️
Seems pretty easy for it to know when it needs to refuel/recharge and head back to base. It wouldn't take on a fare if it didn't have the charge to do it.
They claim it can go 18 hours at city speeds on a single charge, so theoretically they could have two 12-hour shifts charging half the time with plenty of spare capacity, worst case. I watched a bunch (but not all) of the videos on the Zoox YT channel. So far I haven't seen anything on automatic charging. Wireless automated charging would be easy to implement, but once they have other hurdles handled, I'm sure some sort of automated plug-in system could be developed for more efficency. Of course, everything known about Zoox seems to be direct promotional material, or like this video, re-broadcast promotional material, so we'll have to wait and see once it begins independent testing. There's reason to be hopeful, though.
@@SP30305ATL Good insight! Thanks for sharing. I agree it all seems like promotional material at this point -- probably because the roll out will be so incremental.
❤ amazing 💯
Johnny Cab when?
Nice! 75% of people will miss this reference.. lol
@@wiredwebmaster the door opened, you got in
This is sad to millions of drivers who drive for living.
driving for a living sucks opinion from a driver pay sucks and sitting all day driving damages the body and pay is minimal
