Robot taxi

Huang: I think that that the robot taxi market has been delayed a little because they just can’t test on the road. But that’s level two, with autopilot systems. That is still going full out. And I think it’s pretty clear now that because Tesla has found a great business model to monetize its fleet with software. This is an opportunity for the whole automotive industry to change its business model from a traditional fully capitalized, fully monetized opportunity at the point sale, to something different. They can benefit from an installed base that is software-defined, computational, and has the benefits of things like the iPhone. They can benefit from the advances of the smartphone industry, and the car makers are really quite excited about that. And I think that the automotive industry, the car companies that are leaders, are still pushing very fast ahead. But the thing that’s really interesting is that all the fully autonomous robotic taxis are potentially a little delayed, you’re going to see a whole bunch of design for grocery deliveries because of the surge of demand.R./pub. 24.
