This is a scenario predicted at BIA/Kelsey NOW in San Francisco last year: Send your car to work for you.
Uber’s problem is that, with automous vehicles managing themselves as part of a fleet, it’s logistical advantage evaporates.
“You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you’re at work or on vacation,” Musk wrote, explaining how Tesla’s vehicles could be used by their owners and lessees once the autonomous era truly arrives. “This dramatically lowers the true cost of ownership to the point where almost anyone could own a Tesla.”
