7:48 This is why companies like Tesla exist. They’re building autonomous vehicles without any expensive sensors, and millions of autonomous ready Teslas are already on the road using FSD (Supervised), they already have billions of miles of data, all Tesla has to do to make those millions of cars driverless (pending regulatory approval) is a simple flick of a switch. Source: I own a Model Y with FSD that I use everyday
I have a Model 3 with FSD, also use it every day. A bit more complicated than flipping a switch. It's getting closer and is extremely good even now, but the subtle part of picking up and dropping off riders, navigating a congested city, I'm not so sure. Coming from someone who loves their FSD.
This guy is siding with Uber, probably even getting paid for promoting lies . Driver's are NOT getting paid $ 2.20 per mile. In Florida, Uber is paying only 58 cents per mile for most trips. A short trip that most times can take 15 to 25 minutes or more for ONLY 2.74 cents. And if it's a reservation trip you lose 40 minutes for a trip of $5 or 6 buck's..... Driver's are being slaved and abused. That's not all Uber allow many riders to never be on time for pickup. It's infuriating when a driver trying to make a living and has to wait 7 minutes before he's allowed to cancel that ride, which 2 of the first minutes are free. If driver's get $ 1.00 for wait time, they'll be on time for each pickup... Driver's are being robbed and slaved. Making an average of $14.00 per hour gross. After all expenses 7 buck's per hour. DRIVER'S ARE NOT GETTING $2.20 PER MILE..
Second this fully, drivers don’t get that, ride fares are not equal in disclosure, and good luck with going fully electric no infrastructure and 120000 a car ridiculous and imagine maintenance cost for a break job on a jaguar
Yup which is exactly why AI driving is the future. Although I hope Tesla customers sue them into oblivion with them dropping the promise of using your actual Tesla personal car to ride share.
The split between driver and Uber are off. Drivers are not getting $2.20 of $3.20. It is much less. Did you talk to drivers about the split or only relied on Ubers fuzzy math?

Please make a video for FSD. I think Tesla will be the major dominant player as they own and operate and have access to a much larger existing fleet. Their vertical integration and and much larger datasets will eat the lions share of the market before Wayo/Uber can make/acquire enough vehicles to catch up with TSLA. Would love to see your review of it.
I'm a Rideshare Driver. Your statement on 3:30 and beyond about Uber's $2.20/mile payment to Drivers = ABSOLUTE LIE!!! It averages around 80cents to $1 a mile! Once in a lucky while I've seen $1.50 per mile when it's absolute PEAK with traveling time Doubling. That's probably 1 out of 500 trips. So Stop feeding lies!
I like that big tech companies are pushing for this. What I do not like is that they are not also pushing for spaces where new Jobs should be created for Humans.
What do you mean by pushing for space where new jobs gets created. This is creating jobs, it just happens that it's taking more jobs than it's creating, however all forms of technological advancements will have this effect and that includes things as basic as a car in it's early days because cars took away the roles of horses and the humans that take care of them.
@Coz131 Yeah that's what I meant. They have a net negative in jobs. So because they clear out more existing jobs than creating news jobs they should for example push into fields like psychology or eldery care and create tools to make it more fun, easier and fullfilling for employees to work there so more people get exited to get into this fields. They Demand is high for employees in this fields, but no one wants to work there, technology could change this and could create more Jobs in this fields so we would have overall a net plus of taken jobs. I'm sure there are many other areas I haven't touched on, who need a Job boost.
@@kaj5509All technological advancement in theory starts out with net negative jobs. the invention of internal combustion engine basically removed more jobs than they created but the jobs are of higher value. There is no reason to keep inefficient processes and jobs because if a country isn't becoming productive, others will. The fact that they remove people from driving uber means that people then can to look for other jobs in those industry. Technology should and can help in those sector and some people are building them but many of the entrenched industry operators and employee are not open to it. This is another can of worms.
National average of a driver get about 68 cent a mile. I don't know where this guy gets over $2 a mile. Plus Waymo loses over $2 Billion a quarter even after charging at Uber rates or above. Waymo are only locked in a geo fence area limited their location in city transportation only. AV will be a lot more expensive then people think.
He's probably talking about all driver related expenses including provided insurance. Additionally, he's using data from Chicago where I imagine Uber drivers have more ancillary benefits of forms reimbursement than less regulated areas.
I’m going to say this as politely as possible. I need you to upload a lot more videos as fast as possible. Now I’m not saying to cut the quality, but I need a lot more content from you. Watched every video you’ve made and I learned one thing, I need more.
Great video, as always. Several comments saying things like “best business content on YT” and I can’t say I disagree. As a consumer, I am excited by this innovation. As an investor, I wonder if all the benefits of this innovation are going to go to the consumer, or if Uber will be able to capture a portion of the value they create with driverless taxis. In war there’s a saying : “you can make a plan, but the enemy gets a vote”. I feel this is applicable to ride share. Uber has a plan, but Lyft gets a vote in how much Uber is able to charge for these rides. There’s also a threat of suppliers entering the market, with companies like Tesla threatening to start their own driverless taxis companies to compete in the space. So far, the story of ride share has been one of intense competition resulting in consumers capturing most of the value that is created. I agree that driverless cars are a major shift, but I wonder if it’s enough to break this industry dynamic. That being said, I agree that this is bullish news for Google. I think they are in a spot to benefit from this.
I appreciate the investor skepticism. Particularly, in the long run, and especially for the Uber side. As far as Lyft goes, at this point for me, it's the *exclusive* deal Uber signed with Waymo that makes me consider Lyft as even less of a competitor than they were before. And, financially, this is not a company in great shape. Uber won the war and Lyft's balance sheet/cash flow reflects that. I was kind of surprised, why wouldn't Waymo want to partner with Lyft as well to get the additional distribution? I'd love to hear thoughts on that, I have some ideas but nothing solid. Agreed with Google and Waymo. They appear to me as significantly ahead of everyone else and will only pull further ahead. Tesla's FSD is great (I have it), but my experience with it says it's not ready for no driver. So the Tesla event that was saying 2026 or 2027 to launch a robotaxi service, that feels like an eternity. Assuming it even launches on time...build the CyberCabs, procure parking/service areas, build the app/software stack, build out support infrastructure, work with regulators...it's a large lift and one they seem to have only just started work on.

Too much at stake is my guess. 250 people on a plane, one major mistake is catastrophic Though there is a lot of work on autonomous eVTOL from the likes of Archer/Joby/etc
Do you think Uber and Waymo will survive when tesla FSD/ robotaxi is scaled. Teslas are way cheaper, without the unneccessary sensors, and can undercut the Waymo+Uber by at least 50%.
The question is whether those sensors really are unnecessary. But yes I do think they survive either way. Uber has Uber Eats and other business lines. And Waymo may use an entirely different business model. Unlikely this is a winner take all market with how far along Waymo is.
Tesla will completely destroy this business. They have millions of cars, at least 100,000 of which are completely ready and they are completely vertically integrated and provide a better experience than waymo ever can
These cars are very expensive. Uber pays .66 cents a mile for x vehicle. Uber pays 1.24 per mile for XL vehicle. So Uber will increase the per mile rate for Waymo cars ????
A.I will still judge you from whatever country people are doing the control plus remember when Tesla employees were sharing the car videos 😂 We are doomed.
For sure. But like hotel rooms there will be an expectation of privacy, and that will be protected by law. Waymo has no interest in making people feel insecure while inside one of their cars, would be terrible publicity.
Is there data on safety? Human drivers can be unsafer, but it feels weird without numbers to back this up. Great video as usual, very interesting. Perhaps the slow rollout helps uber and waymo in a way, having to expand into every city at once would be expensive openingen the door to rivals.
There is a decent amount of data. Waymo has its own safety stats website up. Put it up a few months ago, the release felt very much like they were saying we’re ready to roll this out
Frankly I dont trust a driverless car in adverse weather conditions. When im driving i can see a patch of snow ahead and know its going to mess up my steering and braking. I can see it and know to slow down way in advance to avoid spinning out when im turning at the intersection. I cant trust a driverless car to make those decisions in a snowstorm

It costs 200k for a single operating waymo car (car plus al the sensors). Until they can get the price down, drivers are gonna stick around.
Not according to the most recent company statements. $200k was the estimate 3-5 years ago, sensor and hardware prices have been whittled down since

There is a decent amount of data. Waymo has its own safety stats website up. Put it up a few months ago, the release felt very much like they were saying we’re ready to roll this out
Frankly I dont trust a driverless car in adverse weather conditions. When im driving i can see a patch of snow ahead and know its going to mess up my steering and braking. I can see it and know to slow down way in advance to avoid spinning out when im turning at the intersection. I cant trust a driverless car to make those decisions in a snowstorm
@@ErbBetaPatched very curious to see what the next cities bc of this. part of the reason I left the footnote about The Sun Belt at the end of the video
Absolutely soulless. I hope humanity isn’t nudged out of the work market. Imagine a world of automated servers, drivers, cashiers etc. What are you doing? How will you get the money to pay for these services when the job is taken by a robot?
The answer is UBI btw.
@@spicysmooth2No, the answer is you go on to do more productive labor. This has happened many times throughout history.
@@ErbBetaPatched And each time its resulted in higher profits for fewer people. How many jobs will be replaced before we have a ruling class of tech trillionaires & an underclass that couldn’t afford to train for years to have a highly specialized job that could be easily replaced with more advanced tech?
@@spicysmooth2 No it results in an overall more productive and efficient economy, which increases the standard of living for all.
@@spicysmooth2You think fewer people are making profit now than during pre-industrial feudal times?
Wow the level of in depth research and reporting is extremely impressive. I was expecting to see at least a few hundred thousand subs with this level of production. The fact that you’re doing this with just 50k is amazing! I salute you and your commitment to in depth reporting and can’t wait to see what your videos are live at 1 million subs
thank you, see you at 1mil!
if you are excited about technology that has taken an economy or someone else means of livelihood, yours can be taken too.
And then you move on to a different form of work. This isnt new. Technology makes our lives better and replaces jobs, you move on to a different job. Rinse and repeat until you overcome scarcity, at which point theres no need for an economy.
@ErbBetaPatched that's scary, no economy will lead to extreme left or right. One person controls everything.
@ The point of an economy is to allocate scarce resources. If there is no scarcity, there is no need for an economy
@@ErbBetaPatched you are correct, there is just no clarity where this AI is leading to
@maxinomics what's the investment strategy here? Google, Uber, tata?
