I think there's going to be so much money to be made on the robo-taxi side that there's got to be some sort of deal that can be made to make some of the people who are going to lose out whole.
Now, we've seen in urban spaces, because it is owning a car...
in a place like Manhattan is such a pain in the neck.
More and more younger people are choosing to forego a car.
They're not even getting driver's licenses.
There are always going to be people who want to own their own car.
I think young parents will always want their own car to move their kids around.
Workers, they're going to want tools to carry from the job.
They're going to want their own vehicle to do that.
The objective is not a world where no one doesn't
That's just where you don't need to own as many as you do now.
I think it is a plausible corollary.
I don't think it's in the near or even the medium term, but this century, assuming we don't have some sort of catastrophe, could that happen?
Absolutely, it could.
But I think it would be so gradual because Tesla's ambitions aside, I think private cars are going to have steering wheels for decades to come.
They're just going to have sophisticated driver assist systems or even self-driving, but only in cars.
Like, only on the highway or only during the day.
I think what will happen is, is that you will be expected to use such systems when you can.
And if you choose not to and you get an accident, your insurance might say, well, our policy says that you have to rely on the systems in situations where it's appropriate.
