Uber and Airbnb to get a tuff competition from Elon Musk’s Robotaxi
On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted that his new company, robotaxi will be like Uber and Airbnb. He confirms this at an annual shareholder’s meeting.
According to Musk, the system is not being designed like other carmakers had conceptualized it for a single city. Musk says that Tesla is also working on a solution for self-driving.
The Tesla CEO has told the Tesla shareholders that it will become a combination of Uber and Airbnb, New York Post reports.
Musk comments on self-driving cars by saying that “look how many cars are parked.” There are parking lots occupied by cars all around as cars require a driver and most of the time they are doing nothing.
Musk also hints that the owners of Tesla could also add their personal vehicles into the robotaxi fleet, which can help the customers for paying off the car loans in the structure of secondary earning.
When Tesla’s FSD (Full Self-Driving) will get entirely operational, Musk has claimed that owners will have the choice of using it themselves or adding their cars to the robotaxi fleet to earn when it is not needed.
