Elon Musk, President and CEO of Tesla, explained how the automaker plans to attack Uber and Lyft with its next shared carpool platform called "Tesla Network", first mentioned in July 2016 in the framework of Musc Management Plan, Part II.
Below, the original vision of Musk that he had shared 2 years ago:
When the real motorists will be approved by the regulators, you will be able to summon your Tesla from anywhere. Once the vehicle has caught you, you can sleep, read or do something else on your way to your destination.
You will also be able to add your car to Tesla's shared fleet by simply pressing a Tesla phone application button and generating income while you are at work or on vacation, which allows you to significantly exceed monthly expenses. loan or rental fees. This greatly reduces the real cost of ownership to the point that almost everyone could own a Tesla. Since most cars are only used by their owners 5-10% of the day, the basic economic utility of a true autonomous car is probably several times greater than that of a car who is not.
In cities where demand exceeds the supply of customer-owned cars, Tesla will operate its own fleet of vehicles, allowing you to always leave us no matter where you are.
Tesla's carpool service will operate its own fleet of autonomous vehicles
And yesterday, Musk doubled its vision of a "shared electric autonomy" where Tesla will operate its own fleet of autonomous vehicles in addition to allowing customers to offer their car to the fleet at their leisure.
"There will be Tesla cars dedicated to hiking [the Tesla Network] and any customer will be able to share their car as they please, just as you share your home with Airbnb, "said Musk. So it's a combination of these 2 models [Uber and Airbnb]. I think it's pretty obvious that things are moving in the long run. "
However, for Musk, Tesla's main advantage over the competition (Uber, Lyft, Didi) is that it "will have millions of cars on the ground with full autonomy, and that no other 'will have that,' putting the constructor the strongest long-term competitive position. "
Atherton Research takes
It will probably take about 5 years for Musk's vision to become reality, which is a curse and a blessing for carpool services like Uber or Lyft, as well as their investors, who are preparing to go public on the stock market year-round. next.
Although all Tesla vehicles built in the last two years already have all the sensors needed to support the automaker's comprehensive self-driving system, essential to the operation of the Tesla network, it remains a critical element The new Tesla autopilot computer named "Hardware 3", which is expected to be available by the end of March, will offer 1000% more processing capacity compared to current hardware, at the same cost.
And when it's over, it'll be the end for Uber and Lyft.
