Topics
Leo Laporte: 我认为马斯克在好莱坞片场展示的机器人出租车活动,从机器人到机器人出租车本身,都是虚假的。活动中展示的3万美元双座Cybercab虽然可以自动驾驶,但这只是他们讲述的故事,其自动驾驶技术离实际应用还有很远。马斯克是一个褒贬不一的人物,他拥有巨大的权力,这让我感到害怕。 Sam Abuelsamid: 我认为特斯拉在可预见的未来不会拥有一个盈利的机器人出租车业务,因为他们的全自动驾驶技术承诺一再落空,并且这项技术本身非常难以解决。特斯拉在自动驾驶技术方面过度承诺,交付不足。特斯拉的估值很大程度上依赖于其机器人出租车服务能够在短期内带来巨额收入的假设,但这在可预见的未来是不可能实现的。机器人出租车是一个非常难解决的问题,特斯拉和其他公司都还没有完全解决。Waymo在商业化自动驾驶方面比其他公司做得更好,但仍然存在局限性。无人驾驶汽车的运营成本比有人驾驶汽车更高,因为需要额外的基础设施和维护。 Sam Abuelsamid: 特斯拉应该为其自动驾驶系统出现错误而承担责任。最近对特斯拉自动驾驶系统的测试表明,该系统在某些情况下会做出严重的错误判断,需要人工干预。如果一个系统行驶12英里完美无缺,但最后1英里却导致你坠崖,这是一个严重的问题。目前,无人驾驶汽车的商业模式尚未盈利。
