“Driverless will also cost far more”

Joke post?

Reality:
Cybercabs are expected to cost significantly less than normal taxis and ride-hailing services, with projections suggesting prices as low as \(\$0.20\)–\(\$0.40\) per mile, compared to the \(\$1\)–\(\$1.50+\) per mile for current services. By removing driver labor costs, which account for a large portion of fares, and utilizing efficient, dedicated autonomous vehicles, Tesla aims to make these rides cheaper than operating a personal car.

“Expected”. Always the sales word but never the reality.

Cars are used for far more than just going to and from work or the store.

“Expected”

It was “expected” to have flying cars by now too.
