WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that is that a real possibility and then not

2
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>too distant future meet Of course, very different I don't

3
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 1>need to tell you than California when it comes to regulation.

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>They don't really have much here in terms of dealing

5
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>with autonomous but it's a different story in California.

6
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but California is already approved way I am always

7
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>been doing autonomus driving.

8
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Another there for a while. But do you need a

9
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 1>separate approval.

10
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Or right now, the approval process is very haphazard and

11
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of state by state and sometimes city by city.

12
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>We were talking in the Secretary of Transportation about that

13
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>very fact a moment ago. Yeah.

14
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Right, So it's going to be important to have a

15
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>unified set of national regulations for self driving cars. Otherwise

16
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get into this weird situation where if

17
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>you're driving from Maine to New York, you're going to

18
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>go through ten different sets of regulations. Car is going

19
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to behave differently. It's not going to make any sense.

20
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So one set of regulations that just like there is

21
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>for highway driving, that's what I think makes sense for

22
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the country as a whole. But my prediction is that

23
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>probably by the end of next year, we'll have probably

24
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, if not,

25
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 2>if not over a million Teslas doing self driving in

26
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the US.

27
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Those are not okay, what percentages those are going to be? Well,

28
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>not the cyber cab you're just talking about on full

29
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>self driving level four.

30
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Un supervised full self driving run. You do not need

31
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention.

32
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Right for me, if I own a Tesla and I

33
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>have the software the capability.

34
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Of doing it, yes, right, But we'll have a model

35
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of like some combination of Uber and Airbnb.

36
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>So if you, if you're a Tesla owner, you'll be

37
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>able to add or subtract your car to the fleet.

38
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>So just like an AIRB and B, you could like

39
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>run out your spare bedroom or run out your house

40
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 2>when you're not using it, and the same thing will

41
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>be available for Tesla owners. So it's a way for

42
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Tesla owners to own revenue. Instead of having your car

43
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>sit in the parking lot, your car could be earning money.

44
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Talked to you, and I talked about that a couple

45
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, which takes me back a bit because

46
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of course, I mean you remember twenty nineteen, you were

47
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 1>talking about twenty twenty the introduction of autonomous And now

48
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you just introduced a fairly somewhat ambitious target. Why do

49
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>you have the confidence now that and then what was it?

50
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 1>In a year there'll be a million available?

51
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Well it might end of next year, I think.

52
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>Twenty six.

53
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, right, I think that's I mean, these things

54
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>happen slowly but then all at once, so you know,

55
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>it's a Peter Tiel has a book zero one. Once

56
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>you make once you have a proof point, once you

57
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>have it working, then scaling up is you know, just

58
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>amount of time. So once it's working well in Austin,

59
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>then you know, we'll make sure it works well in

60
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>other cities. I mean there are obviously some unique cases

61
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>like downtown New York, like you know if you're in

62
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>but that's a highly unusual situation. Most cities in America

63
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>are like Austin.

64
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>So right, although you can go on full self driving

65
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>right now in New York, I mean you can obviously

66
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 1>have to sit there behind the wheel, but and it'll

67
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>do it. Oh yeah, no, it'll it'll it'll navigate the traffic.

68
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it.

69
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, even a test that you buy it right now,

70
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and the self driving just costs ninety nine dollars a month,

71
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>will give you autonomous driving anywhere in the country right now.

72
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>The question is when? When is it unsupervised? Right where

73
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that's that's where.

74
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Where you're sitting in the back, so to speak.

75
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, yes, where you're like asleep and a car you

76
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>wake up at your destination.

77
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

78
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>In order for that to be the case, we want

79
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the autonomous car to be much safer than a car

80
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 2>driven by apost
