Would you hail a 'robotaxi'? Musk bets cabs will give Tesla a lift after boycotts and sales plunge
didn’t happen either. Now, as Tesla faces boycotts and a plunge in sales, Musk is once again betting on the success of his robotaxi plan. The idea behind the robotaxi is to have a fleet of self-driving cars that can be hailed by users through a mobile app. This will eliminate the need for human drivers and make transportation more efficient and cost-effective. However, many experts are skeptical about the success of this plan. The technology for fully autonomous vehicles is still in its early stages and there are concerns about safety and reliability. In fact, Tesla's Autopilot system has been involved in several accidents, raising questions about the company's ability to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle. On top of that, Tesla is facing backlash and boycotts due to concerns about the safety of its vehicles and work conditions at its factories. This has resulted in a significant drop in sales, with the company reporting a 30% decrease in deliveries in the first quarter of 2019. Despite these challenges, Musk remains confident in the potential of his robotaxi plan. He believes that by 2020, there will be over a million Tesla vehicles capable of functioning as robotaxis. However, this timeline seems highly ambitious and many industry experts believe it will take much longer for fully autonomous vehicles to become a reality. In the meantime, Tesla continues to face competition from other companies, such as Google's Waymo and Uber, who are also working on self-driving technology. It remains to be seen if Musk's bet on the success of the robotaxi will pay off and if it will be able to give Tesla the lift it needs after recent challenges."
