I believe that the Tesla Cybercab is something that structurally changes the industry and individuals surrounding the car in terms of Self-Driving Cars. It might be a good idea to imagine a future where even the term "taxi industry" becomes an old-fashioned concept. It feels like Sabuzero is still confined by the current industry and structure. I believe that the current system will undergo significant changes. And that will be in the very near future.
Unmanned self-driving cars will be running around the city, and when called using an app, they will arrive in front of you within minutes. You will reach your destination while playing with your phone. This will also become quite affordable or even part of a subscription service. With that, personal car ownership will no longer be necessary. It will not be a time when the number of passengers carried is high but rather a time when cars are not sold at all.
Conversely, only a few companies that have won in this battle will be able to dominate the mobility industry. Personal car ownership will become more like an entertainment for enjoying driving mainly supercars.
Just like Optimus, I think robots will be placed in restaurants instead of employees, or in households, there will be one household robot for each family.
In major food and beverage chains like Skylark Group, the sight of serving robots has rapidly increased over the past few years and has now become a common scene. Companies like Timey are also trendy, but they will quickly be able to handle tasks at that level.
By the way, at the RoboTaxi event last October, Optimus is reported to be priced below 0.03 million dollars. Depending on the exchange rate, it is expected to be below 5 million yen.
It may be good to imagine a new world accepting metabolism. This is just my personal opinion...
応援し隊 : I completely agree!How many hours do you operate your Autos and own them during the day? It's important not to overlook this fact.
