Musk is predicting the company’s robotaxi will be like a combined version of Uber and Airbnb
Unlike Uber though, Musk says the system is not being designed with a launch city in mind, the way competitors have approached the concept.
Are we better off without Uber and taxi drivers?
Musk said Tesla owners will have the choice of using it themselves or adding their cars to the robotaxi fleet to earn money when they do not need them.
The tech billionaire mentioned that regulatory hurdles will limit where it can be deployed.
He estimates that a typical vehicle added to the system will see its usage jump from 12 hours a week to 60 hours a week and become a revenue generator for the owner of the Tesla.
The idea is that when your car is parked, it then joins the fleet and takes off on its own with no driver.
