So I think the confusion to my mind is the following:
1. I didn’t buy my car to have it drive around on its own working a day job
2. I don’t want to absorb the insurance / maintenance hit of having my car be a road warrior while I’m working
3. My Tesla cost closer to $50k than $25k
4. I do not live in an area where taxis are a major mode of transport
I’m sure there are people in the world that could get $100k of value out of a robotaxi. But I don’t think they’re the median or mean purchaser of a self-driving car.
