Autonomous car with no safety driver for $50M, not $10B – The future of practical robotaxis is here
Premiered Nov 2, 2020
Quote:
Oliver Cameron and Voyage are shipping a practical robo-taxi that is up and running today. They're a robotaxi service for senior citizens in some of the largest senior living communities in the world. They've built a practical robo-taxi company that is poised to drive real revenue now, not decades in the future.
Ford Motor created the mass produced car, and did it with minimal startup capital. Our contrarian view is that Voyage will create the first practical robo-taxi as a standalone company— and they'll do it without spending Mission-to-Mars style R&D budgets to get there? How? You'll have to watch to find out.
