Dan Gallagher: 特斯拉的估值之所以如此之高,是因为市场认为它不仅仅是一家汽车公司,而是在自动驾驶汽车、机器人出租车和家用机器人等领域拥有巨大的潜力。投资者们看好特斯拉在这些领域的未来发展,这些因素共同推动了特斯拉的估值飙升。相比之下,Waymo的估值虽然远低于特斯拉,但仍然非常可观,尤其考虑到它目前尚未实现盈利。Waymo的估值反映了市场对其在自动驾驶技术领域领先地位的认可,以及对其未来商业化前景的期待。特斯拉的系统理论上可以通过软件下载实现自动驾驶功能,这使得其具有快速扩展的潜力。然而,其实际潜力仍需数年时间来验证。目前,特斯拉在奥斯汀推出的机器人出租车服务还处于初期阶段,规模有限。Waymo在自动驾驶领域已经取得了显著进展,目前已在五个城市提供服务,并积累了多年的运营经验。尽管如此,市场对Waymo的看法仍会受到特斯拉服务发展的影响。如果特斯拉能够成功扩展其机器人出租车服务并赶上Waymo的技术水平,那么Waymo的市场估值可能会受到一定的冲击。 Dan Gallagher: Waymo在自动驾驶领域处于领先地位,技术成熟度高,但市场对Waymo的看法会受到特斯拉服务发展的影响。
