Driverless Hotel Rooms: The End of Uber, Airbnb and Human Landlords

  • I don't follow the economics on this - while you're staying in a stationary "driverless hotel room", you're tying up machinery (the vehicle bit) that represents a lot more capital investment than a static room. How is that supposed to be cheaper?

  • In Europe it's cheaper[xx] to leave car driving around (indefinitely on a roundabout etc) than to (short-term) park in the cities or at airports.

    1h city driving = 20km

    fuel @ €10/100km

    driving = €2

    parking = €3-€3.50

    EVs would be <€1/h
