Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi cautioned that while the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry is evolving, commercialization remains a formidable challenge. Essential conditions for commercial AV adoption include achieving a 'superhuman' safety record, uniform regulations across states, and reducing the high operational costs of current AV technology. Khosrowshahi noted that existing AVs, which exceed $200,000 in costs, cannot compete economically unless operational expenses fall significantly. He also addressed the logistical challenges posed by high mileage requirements and the necessity for consistent vehicle upkeep and cleaning as key areas needing improvement.
Uber's CEO highlighted the significant hurdles that autonomous vehicles (AVs) face before commercialization can become viable, including safety standards and operational costs.
Khosrowshahi pointed out that a 'consistently superhuman safety record' is essential for regulators to permit AVs on public roads, emphasizing the need for better technology.
