They have to deploy it into ‘select’ markets in order to be successful. Like, they could deploy it in a town where people get prosecuted for criminal actions. But they couldnt have these downtown in baltimore, or in detroit. They would instantly be destroyed.
They have underestimated damage, breakdown, even people leaving doors open which disable the thing from moving, the overal stupidity of people that will/claim to be hurt by these things, plus lawsuits from errors the vehicle makes while driving that hurt passengers. Further they will become petri dishes of filth and legal issues will arise from this as well.
Its not going to work out the way they think it is.
