Becky Peterson: 特斯拉在奥斯汀推出了robo-taxi服务，初期规模较小，主要面向其粉丝群体。目前使用的是带有方向盘和踏板的Model Y车型，通过特殊软件实现自动驾驶。虽然现在收入有限，但特斯拉对未来发展充满信心，并计划通过差异化的品牌形象吸引更多用户。我预计，如果人们购买特斯拉汽车，并将其加入robo-taxi服务，这将会是特斯拉未来发展的重要方向。 Katherine Blunt: Waymo在自动驾驶领域已经领先多年，正在积极扩张到纽约等城市，并扩大现有城市的服务范围。尽管面临来自特斯拉等竞争对手的压力，Waymo仍在不断投资该技术。Waymo需要获得纽约市的特别许可，并修改州法律才能大规模运营。此外，Waymo也意识到需要关注政治因素，并根据情况限制在特定区域的服务。我观察到，Waymo正在积极应对竞争，并努力保持其领先地位。
