To me, the Zoox is what I've always thought autonomous vehicles would become: a living room on wheels. I see a day coming, a day in the not very distant future, where you'll be able to call up such a vehicle for a long road trip. The interior of the vehicle will be equipped with seating that transforms into beds and will also function like a living room. There will also be a small microwave oven and refrigerator on board so you can have meals and snacks during your trip. The vehicle will do all the driving for you and you will arrive at your destination well rested and refreshed.

You need tremendous amount of real world data in order to safely deploy through out the world and it has the ability to go almost anywhere. Honestly, Zoox is not on level 5 autonomous. They are only testing on certain route with limited data. Tesla, on the other hand, gaining million of miles data from FSD everyday around the world, yet Tesla haven't claimed they have reached level 5 autonomous, but they already have achieved the ability to go anywhere autonomously with latest FSD V11. So in terms of Autonomous, Tesla is ahead of every rival.

buses do not cover all needs. if you are a youngster living in a city centre with a bus line from your apartment to your office, and never need to carry more than a briefcase or backpack, then yes, buses are great for you. but for anything that goes beyond that - which is a lot - buses often are not adequate. they don't do last mile and have you waiting at stations during wind and weather. depending on your condition and/or your luggage, the trip to the nearest station may not be doable. they run on rigid schedules which makes them inadequate for trips involving time sensitive appointments. try going shopping for a week worth of groceries for your family of five, carrying and pulling all of your bags through public transit. it is not always acceptable to share a space with strangers (and I'm not referring to class here). whether you get a seat or not being up to chance is often not acceptable. you may have baggage that is not suitable for buses or comparable forms of public transit. and the list goes on... for many people and situations - and pretty much all elderly and/or disabled people - those conditions are just not acceptable. if we ever are to attain an infrastructure where car ownership is actually rendered obsolete, then the mix of transportation services truly needs to cover 100% of all rides. if just 10% of rides are still vastly more comfortable with owned cars, then most people will still at least own one and use it over public transit. conventional public transit such as buses is great and should be expanded, but autonomous taxis are a crucial piece to the solution, too.

I love the way these start-ups always pitch themselves as doing "social good" using the same cultural buzz words and meaningless "empowerment" vernacular that you've seen in a thousand bland "inclusive" corporate keynotes (thanks Apple!). However, at the end of the day, as usual, they own everything, literally from the wheels up, an MBA's wet dream of vertical integration. "TaaS", they call it, which sounds a lot nicer than "we own it all" and you are just the "forever tenant", or the "pay monthly monkey". "You'll own nothing and be happy" as they say. Don't get me wrong, I can't blame them, but I resent the condescension in their tired rhetoric, that they are doing what they are to improve society and make people "happy" blah blah. No, they are doing it for the same reason anyone ever has, namely to enrich themselves. Again, this is fine, good luck to them but please can they stop with the virtue signaling bs, they ain't a benevolent entity, they want our money. So just be honest by respecting people enough to speak plainly. I am talking about this company right now, but I really could be addressing any one of these "socially woke start-ups". After all, they all look and sound the same. I prefer the old school companies, at least they didn't tell you what nice people they are while they are f::king you and some of them at least seemed happy with owning less than 100% of your life.

Omg this is so so so amazing. Ever since I heard about level 5 autonomy like... 6 years ago or whatever I've been thinking about how taxis and transportation will look like in the future. And I've been imagining these doors and a small vehicle (not a bus) and the bidirectionality. And now this video pops up and I've never heard of zoox but you awesome people are actually building what I've been imagining. And more of course! This is nothing but amazing. This will be the future. I'd bet on it. This will free up so freaking much space in the cities! Omg seriously I am on the edge of my seat here, I rarely get that excited about something. Astonishing work you awesome people.

American suburbs are so sprawling, it might still make sense to own a vehicle to avoid waiting for the ride to arrive. That will also reduce total miles moved, because there's no empty miles. In cities, though, the service model seems great!

Owning a car gives me the peace of mind of knowing I can get my family to emergency care BEFORE a hearse is needed. I'd love to have level 5 automation drive me to the hospital especially if the speed limits could be overridden. But unfortunately this is merely a tool for corporations to make money in big cities where people are at the mercy of "decision makers". Who gets the ride out of town during riots or wildfires? And what if my social credit score is too low because I don't go along with the hive mind?

Self-driving car like this one, are planned not to be sold to the public, they will be treated as public transportation run by private corporations. And given the current development on social media (a public platform run by very politically partisan private corporations), they can deny service to you if they think you violating their "term of service" which is arbitrary, politically bias, and can change on a whim.

Cars are a problem in cities, but that is solved by improving public transportation, there're a lot of examples of that in Europe. And in rural and wild areas, there are a lot of benefit to owning your vehicle yourself -- instant readiness, personal storage, zero waiting cost. At least, that's what I think someone loving picnics would think. So Zoox is essentially a replacement for taxi services -- which is nice, but a little too small niche for a country of car-owners. They're going to have a hard time.

No autonomous vehicle maker ever talks about abstracted fault. They add the crashes from dumb, drunk, high, raging, speeding, distracted drivers into their calculations of crashes prevented thus their numbers are irrelevant. Due to the abstracted fault, these vehicles have to be safer for every single individual driver for them to be accepted on a wide scale. That means, not the average driver, but the best driver must be safer. Also, the good drivers are usually the ones with the funds to afford such vehicles so that is the hurdle to overcome.

Whoa! Transportation as a service? Where have I heard that before? Oh right, busses with a capacity of 30+ people that do the same thing, only much more fuel-efficient. I see this as a service for the future dominated by really competent public transportation, for people rich enough to afford their own vehicle. This would actually be better if the vehicles were larger, had more capacity. This would also be competing public transportation, cutting into the profits of train and bus operations, and reducing service capacity.

Uber relies on privately owned cars to be driven by their owners to provide transport. This company goes a step further and claims to want to do away with cars owned by people. Then what kind of future are they planning for? A future without cars has drastically less roads, replaced by space for pedestrians, cyclists, busses, trolleys, subways, monorails, etc. On a sidewalk with 10 pedestrians, you could hardy fit 2 cars, which could each have one person. In Philadelphia, there are more parking spaces than cars, more than people! Every time LA adds a lane to their highway, the estimated duration of each car's commute increases by 1 minute. If they scale their operation, then they still need space to store the "vehicles", they still need roads to drive them, so what are they getting rid of? The capacity of individuals to own their transportation? If the only benefit is now "vehicle" companies are getting the profit instead of Lyft and Honda, then what have you really solved?

It's an interesting question how it will fit in with public transportation. We've been following some advances in cities making themselves more walkable/bikeable and having better public transit as well. It seems like we could be at a key change point for transportation and it remains to be seen which solutions will be dominant in 30 years, or if it varies by region. It's worth noting that there are already regions with extremely competent public transportation--Tokyo, for example--but they still pretty much all have cars. It's hard to replicate the utility of fast door to door service, especially capable of transporting baggage, even with world-class transit--to say nothing of the need for delivery, construction and emergency-service vehicles. But shifting to vehicles like this could drastically reduce the need for parking, especially in crowded areas (unused cars could simply fill up garages, and potentially more densely since they wouldn't necessarily have to all be able to get out independently). They could save everyday people a lot of money by removing the need to pay registration/gas/insurance/maintenance and being much less expensive than cab rides, and lower emissions by dramatically accelerating the EV transition. Of course, public transportation could certainly help fulfill these goals as well, and who knows - perhaps even making autonomous buses will be part of the solution. Time will tell!

​@@dentistrider3874 I don't see how you can take for granted a potential of such taxis to _drastically_ reduce the amount of roads needed. If people still drive just as much as today, with such vehicles being added on the roads, then the need of roads will stay the same. It could theoretically come that thanks to a growth of the number of people per vehicle you'll save one or two lanes here or there, but who owns a car now will probably want an own car also after such taxis have emerged. It's a completely different feeling if you know that you have an own, customized, familiar car (with certain things inside) waiting for you in your garage, at any time, or if you, yourself, have to wait, again and again, for a car which is not customized, not necessarily even familiar, and not carrying certain objects which you'd hope to have at hand at any time. So you basically can assume that who has an own car now will also use an own car - perhaps an autonomous one - after an emergence of such taxis, while numberless people who now use buses or trains, or stay at home altogether, will _add_ vehicles to the roads.

Two problems: 1. Will this be too costly? I would rather pay for one Zoox than pay for each ride for the rest of my life...

@restonthewind

1. Paying for each ride is sharing the cost of one Zoox with many other people, and since you aren't paying a driver, the cost could be much lower than a conventional taxi ride. I expect the cost to be a small fraction of the cost of a vehicle that only carries me and sits idle 99% of the time. 2. Five minutes seems adequate and also realistic with enough customers in a densely populated area. In Manhattan, the median wait time for an Uber is two and a half minutes. The service can also offer expedited pick-up at a higher price. You only pay when you really need it.

(although I am hearing that zoox will only be doing planned routes - if that's true then this wouldn't be a service that could cover all needs. so instead I'm talking about the potential of an autonomous taxi service in general). 2. will probably vary quite strongly whether you live in a city centre, in suburbs, or even farther out. city centre should be around 5 minutes I'd reckon.

Heavily against transportation as a service. The point of owning a car is that you leverage paying uprfront for absolute availability. The promise of efficiency and savings through transportation as a service is a sham, as it asumes the usage is uniform throughout the day which is a lie, vast majority need transportation at the same time which you cannot serve, so you will charge them at "peak hours rates", which will eventually add up to more than even leasing a car.

Owning the car is horribly inefficient though - you have to pay for the cost of the vehicle, servicing, insurance, occasional repairs - and all that for a vehicle that only gets to serve any function for maybe two hours a day, if you've a long commute. When it's not in use you have to pay to store it, which is a hidden cost - it's hidden in the price of your house, because you've got a chunk of land you paid for that serves no useful function other than being a place to put your car. A car being operated as a service costs only slightly more to run, but it can be moving people around most of the day. As for the problem of peak hours? That's already a problem with private cars: It requires spending an obscene amount of taxpayer money building giant eight-lane roads to handle the car traffic, and you still end up with frequent congestion. If you've got autonomous cars, just scale them up to autonomous busses.

My initial impression of not owning a personal car is similar to the feeling of forgetting your phone at home.

Seems interesting, but I live in Appalachia, where unpaved roads are fairly common. I don't see this serving this area, let alone serving any area in adverse weather. How would you evacuate before a hurricane? Or in the face of shifting wild fires? Also, unless there is a carpool option, commuter traffic in cities will be just as congested as it is now. Scalability doesn't mean broad ranging utility. What about the need for car seats or booster seats, large families (3rd row seating), cargo capacity (trips to airports, luggage takes up a lot of space), accessibility for mobility limited individuals, assistance for independent yet mentally challenged individuals that don't understand the lack of a driver... the list goes on and on. But for financially well-off, non-challenged adults this is a good option.

Yes it’s a good idea but we have to admit having a personal car has it’s benefits like the ability to take as much luggage as you would like based on the size of the trunk, family outing (long journeys) would not be as convenient as it would if you have a personal car and also based on things like COVID moving on P. Cars would limit the spread of infections.

these long sort of family outing trips take up a very small minority of car rides (70% of car journeys in the UK are under 5 miles) it is all these small journeys that are targeted. of course there will still be services to rent a car with capacity for family/suitcases for the off occasion that you do need the capacity and are going somewhere with very little public transport links.

BIG fan of this mode of future transportation. The SEATS!!! The seats HAVE to be able to lean back so people can sleep. This is a MUST HAVE. It's what makes this mode of transportation unique. Add in some muzak on/off button so each one couple can have some privacy when they talk. Needs cameras around and IN the vehicle to help ensure safety.

Not having the ability to buy the product also means you're being scammed with a usage or susbscription fee that will make you pay in your lifetime more than you'd have to with a one time buy. It's what they don't tell obviously. It is a good thing to take a crusade against the accumulation of little-used vehicles by single users, but most of the people will just lose money.

This is a wonderful concept and implementation. Great for seniors living in assisted living where they need a medical taxi. The driver instead of driving can be the caregiver for the senior getting the ride to the medical appointment, excursion, etc. Great for seniors all around. Great for students who attend schools far away from home. Great for students all around. Fantastic and a necessity for dense cities like San Francisco, New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, London, Paris, Milan, etc. Great for underserved areas in Los Angeles County, Oakland, etc. Uber and Lyft alternative. And with less reliance on human labor, gives more importance to guaranteed universal basic income. Have basic food, clothes and shelter universally subsidized.

I love this! The same concept about "You don't need a car, you just need a ride" has been my rule living in the big metro area, why would I buy an expensive car when I just can take the public transportation? Its cheaper and more cost effective and I can spend my time and money in more important things for myself. I don't believe cars will cease to exist but they will become a luxury item, wich is fine by me... so many accidents, so much chaos in traffic, the high cost of insurance, so many irresponsible people trying to show off and so many of them getting themselves in dumb loans so they can impress others, at the end of the day a solution is what you need and this will be it.

An own car is (nearly) always availalbe immediately. One cannot well know exactly when one will need a vehicle, nor how long it will take an AV to arrive in front of one's house. Many people will also permantently carry certain things in their cars, like first-aid kits they're familiar with or find good, weapons, manuals they need for their work, ropes, protective clothing (hats, raincoats), cosmetic products, or whatever. To store many, partially heavy things in an AV each time you get into the latter is a lot of work. You also can like the seats or other parts of a certain car especially much. All of this makes the difference between the usage of a public AV and an own vehicle so strong that only a massive general economic downturn could in currently industrialized areas make a thing generally considered as a luxury, out of own cars. What could easily happen is that cars which _are not autonomous_ become a luxury.

When not everyone could afford to pay for transit, they saved up to buy their own transit (car). Vehicles stopped saving us money on transit because we wanted our vehicle to do more, we wanted something that expresses our style. This is designed to control us and where we can or rather CAN'T GO! If you believe you are saving more money by NOT buying a car then use public transportation. Just remember you don't get the convenience and may be spending more money in the long term.
