Elon Musk admits Tesla's plan for a million-strong robotaxi network may not happen this year after all
Well, I think it's quite likely, in my view — again, I could be wrong, I'm — as you see it, we are a little bit — we're ahead in some areas, and we're behind in others because — when I give a guess, I give the guess that I think is the likely midpoint, not the point with lots of margin. If it's a normal distribution, I'd give you the 50th percentile, not the 3 segment — optimistic or pessimistic.
punctuality is not my strong suit, but I always come through in the end. So I think we could see robotaxis in operation with the network fleet next year, not in all markets but in some. It's not clear, exactly, what a Tesla network would look like. At the autonomy day event where Musk announced the plans, it seemed to be something that could easily compete with Uber or Lyft's network of digitally dispatched taxi rides . It could also be a way for Tesla owners to monetize their idle vehicles when not using them.
"I think like probably yes, like Tesla-owned robotaxis will be in dense urban areas, along with customer vehicles," he said at the event. "And then as you get to medium- and low-density areas, it would tend to be more that people own the car and occasionally rent it out."Axel Springer, Insider Inc.'s parent company, is an investor in Uber.
