Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has indicated that the widespread adoption of driverless cars in rideshare services will take considerable time due to challenges like safety and logistical needs. Although companies like Waymo and Tesla are advancing self-driving technology, Khosrowshahi emphasized that scaling this technology into effective fleets for rideshare use involves numerous complexities, including the need for increased safety and maintenance, as well as appropriate parking solutions.
It is important to note that an average-utilized AV can run as much as 100K miles a year, compared to a typical consumer vehicle at 10-15K miles a year.
We think that the commercialization of the technology is going to take way, way longer. Several pieces of the go-to-market puzzle still need to come together.
