Waymo - Autonomous, but not quite

我刚刚读到： LOL

“Autonomous, but not quite 

The latest? 

 

Waymo’s robotaxis don’t need drivers, but they apparently still need someone to close the door.  

 

In Atlanta, Waymo is paying gig workers – like those from DoorDash – to walk over and shut robotaxi doors that passengers leave open. If the door isn’t fully closed, the vehicle won’t move. 

 

It just sits there.  

 

So Waymo pings a nearby delivery driver. 

 

$11.25 to shut a door. 

 

In L.A.?  

 

Up to $24. 

 

Here’s the thing. 

 

If your business model depends on human patchwork to keep machines moving, your margins are going to look very human too. 

 

Contrast that with Unka Elon’s approach. “
