Ride-sharing and Robotaxis Decopled Revenue Model Problems

Robotuxi services are spreading VastlyThe Although they have a clear problem in San Francisco – as I got, driving in San Francisco – these challenges are improving. Now, both Uber and Laft seem to take steps to replace their ride-share drivers with AI.

We can be at the doorstep of the first large -scale AI job replacement attempt to see each one we see. This conversion will solve a key problem with its users by aligning a more direct income with the ride. However, it will not solve more deeper problems that have ride-sharing mills with social media: a decopulated earning business model-where people who use a service do not necessarily fund it.

Let’s talk about decoploid earnings. Then, we will close my week’s product: a new and great notebook of Lenovo that sports the new processor from Intel.

Decopol is a problem with revenue

The problem is both in both the social media and ride sharing is that people paying for services are not considered as primary customers.

Social media, including advertisers, funds the platforms, but users are involved in the content as they are primary customers. By sharing the ride, the platform enables the car owners to cash their vehicles but it is the cost of service. Since the riders pay them, they should be customers of drivers, not their platform.

In both cases, the platform gives the revenue-advertisers and riders to share the ride for social media-the service is considered as the expense center than the valuable participants who use this service to the creators and drivers.

This decopling means those who make this service possible – such as Uber/Lift drivers and social media users – are often ignored. Their requirements are subjected to advertisers on social media and for the Uber/Lift, as the drivers are subjected to entities. Creator and ride-share drivers are often considered as a problem managed by the Creator and Ride-Share drivers without being seen as a resource to optimize.

Both conditions are true. Users run ads to ads because the ads are worthless without users. Likewise, if there is no driver, there is nothing for the riders to use.

The directors often fail to make this difference. I once knew a general manager who argued that his plant would run better without sales – it was forgotten that because of this because of this, the plant was the reason for doing business in the first place. He was then dismissed because he was a fool, but it was not a unique situation. I was an internal auditor, and it was surprised how many high-ranking executives do not know how things actually work — which is a kind of scary when you think about it.

Businesses usually work better when people use a service and those funds are the same. When the revenue and users are decopted, as they are on social media and ride-sharing, the platforms risk to separated them. You do not rush with your earning sources.

Will robotaxis be disrupted or fix the ride-sharing?

Robotaxis can fix the ride-share or break it badly. If Uber and Lift go to Robotaxy services, people who use this service to cash their cars will not be able to compete with the AI ​​driver if they do not want to work almost free. However, it will also eliminate the problem of drivers in treating more than the customer than the customer. Uber and lifts can only concentrate on riders who are customers with robotaxis.

Now, I know that these services allow the ride-share car owners to stay with the service, but by buying and maintaining autonomous vehicles, they enable them to earn a significant portion of their income. It can be similar to a B&B model but with cars and trucks, maintenance, insurance and responsibility anxiety creates additional obstacles.

Also, though these cars will be basically electrical, we do not have an automatic charging station for their use. If autonomous vehicles are operated independently, the charging infrastructure is criticized and solutions like robotic charging or battery are still in the development.

Given these challenges, Uber and Lift will probably choose the ownership of their fleets and install unique charging ports, automatic charging stations and stand-by parking lots can adjust general fluctuations as per demand throughout the day.

Initially, there will be a mixture

At this point, Robotuxi service technology is suitable for urban areas. However, if the rider has to go a little farther, at least in the short term, a human driver will still need a human driver until we approve the autonomous driving technology that can handle between the cities and between it.

We can even see some integrity between autonomous cars and aircraft for services in a state. At least some aircraft being considered for this is VTL (vertical tech -off and landing), which provides the possibility of landing pads more locally where riders can transfer an autonomous aircraft to their autonomous cars.

Something has been Concept Where an autonomous lifting body is connected to the car when it is to bypass the traffic or travel at a long distance. This would be great, but I think security anxiety can prevent people from using it. I remember ক Flying car Many years ago a Ford was based on Pinto where wings and cars were separated at height and killed the founders of the company.

Up to wrap

Although robotaxis can improve ride-division by alignment with users, what happens to displaced Uber and lift drivers? In some cases – and Tesla is exploring it – some can work from a distance, when a robotux is in trouble for guiding it to a protection or repair station. However, it will require much less drivers than today, only temporary employment will be provided for some, but most will be out of fate.

As the AIS proceeded to take more of these tasks, it would be a complicated problem to determine what should be done to people who lost the results. What will the driver or even pilots be, when vehicles can drive or fly? It is not that you can suddenly pive them to the robot trainers. We now do not need a lot of trainers because we have drivers and pilots.
