On Thursday, Tesla will reveal its Cybercab, a self-driving robotaxi. But running an autonomous ride-hailing fleet involves much more than teaching cars to drive themselves.
As Musk takes the stage tomorrow at the Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. movie studio in Burbank, California, and attempts to usher that substantial vision into reality, canny observers should keep watch for information about Tesla ’s service that extends beyond the vehicle itself. The robot devil will likely be in the robot details. Ride-hailing services are logistically complex, governed by liability laws and state-by-state regulations. Sometimes, robot taxis are attacked by vandals.
Amazon’s Zoox is testing its purpose-built, toaster-shaped robotaxi in Las Vegas, and has said it will launch an autonomous taxi service later this year. There may be a “last mover” advantage, though; Perhaps Tesla can learn from what other self-driving developers have done poorly, and well.
