Thanks, J for sharing

here are the details

Cost $116

Over a 60 mile drive over an hour long - also across the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin... that is North Bay. GG Bridge Toll is $10.75. Petrol cost in CA it is $5.65 a gallon... avg MPG is 18 mpg - so about $19 in gasoline.

I compared costs with Uber — Robotaxi comes in at about half the price. Even Uber Pool, with all its detours, delays, and awkward ride-sharing, still ends up more expensive. Bottom line: Robotaxi is cheaper, faster, and more convenient.

Sounds expensive when compared to just driving there yourself. Petrol or not. So one hour $116? Shoot I’ll drive someone for $116/hr. I’m sure with widespread adoption rates will get better.

Best thing Uber et al now can do is get a boatload of Junipers and copy Elons playbook

was the ride with a ghost driver on shotgun? I no longer know if there is a ghost driver or fully self-driving.

I live in remote rural Australia where there are no Ubers & getting to the airport takes half a day and usually a big favour from a neighbour . For me a $100 for 1 hour robo taxi ride is a no brainer. I wish we had robotaxi in Australia . My community could have its own robo taxi.

Unironically

Whats stopping Elon from globally owning all the robotaxis?

Funny how the car in the uber graphics looks like it has a cybercab/new model y type headlight.
