Do I really have to explain to you what happens when a large corporation is in direct competition with poorly funded public services?
UMMM .
Free market .
A large corporation can compete with subsidized public transport yet still make a profit .
And.....
The most efficient use of energy should dictate the winner.
For transport. The energy embedded in providing the service is the major cost of that service
Therefor.
If it is cheaper to use ride hailing than subsidized public transport it is probably a more efficient use of energy .
What Tesla is proposing is not they own all the units and have a monopoly.
What Tesla is proposing is anyone can own a unit using their technology and rent it out as they see fit. You too can buy a Tesla with FSD and bet on the future application of the technology if you want and profit from it if that suits your needs .
As already mentioned and not addressed by you .
if a private car is used only 2 % of the time and using FSD enabled ride haling it is used say 20% of the time what happens to the energy embedded in the production of that unit?
1/10.
It becomes many times more efficient than a purely private car.
That is on top of already being many times more energy efficient as an ICE car.
Kassy I am still focusing on Tesla's publicly available intentions with FSD not the subject of public v private transport.
