Elon Musk has just released information to make Uber and Google terrified
Not only at the idea level, Elon Musk also announced a specific plan, envisioning a world where Tesla owners can make money from their vehicles by letting others use them from call service. car.
Musk has just officially announced Tesla's "Master Plan, Part Deux" and outlined the vision for a car sharing program for its self-driving cars.
After perfecting the self-driving ability, car sharing will make Tesla customers no longer afraid of the cost of buying a car too high as it is now.
"When self-driving cars are fully approved by the authorities you will be able to recall Tesla cars wherever you are , " Musk wrote. "After getting in the car, you can sleep, read a book or do anything until you reach the destination."
When you don't use your self-driving car, you can put it into "Tesla's shared vehicle fleet , " Musk continued. This way, the car will make money for you while you work or rest.
When you don't use your self-driving car, you can put it in "Tesla's shared vehicle fleet".
"This is a way to significantly reduce the real cost that customers need to spend on owning Tesla cars. Thanks to it, anyone can own a Tesla car. And because car owners often use only cars. Their range is between 5 and 10% of the day, so the economic benefits that self-driving cars bring are several times more than regular cars, ' Musk notes.
Elon Musk's vision and plan made Uber and Google stand still. Currently both Uber and Google are developing self-driving cars but have not announced the business model they will deploy for self-driving cars.
Musk's plan probably threatens Uber the most. At first, Uber was quite popular thanks to its cheap price and quick and convenient. However, after that, there was no subsidy program, the price of Uber was not much cheaper than a regular taxi. Even at peak hours Uber taxi prices are much more expensive.
With the ability to produce cars and abundant vehicles from car owners who do not need to use them, Tesla's car sharing service will never fall into a state of lack of cars to the point of increasing prices to encourage driving off the road like Uber.
The ability to produce cars also helps Tesla's cars work more seamlessly and it is also more proactive in updating software or editing if problems occur. Meanwhile Uber and Google only developed software and had to hire hardware manufacturing partners, which had some risks if there was no meaningful cooperation between the two parties.
"In cities, Tesla will deploy self-driving vehicles to serve customers when demand exceeds the capacity of cars with owners to ensure that you can always call our cars. wherever you are and at any time , " Musk said.
