Automating Mobility
Ride hailing firms are testing fully autonomous vehicles in partnership with manufacturers.
Imagine a scenario where ride hailing firms use only fully autonomous vehicles with no human driver and only their customers inside the vehicles.
This might make ride hailing firms more profitable. I saw an interview on a business channel where the interviewee said that ride hailing firms could earn up to US$ 250,000 per year from each fully autonomous vehicle. I don’t know if this figure is accurate but it makes you realize why ride hailing firms want autonomous vehicles.
Fully autonomous vehicles on our streets are probably still some time away. But would it be palatable to governments which need to create jobs for people?
