> How do you replace all of the non-driving tasks of a taxi-driver? (cleaning, lifting bags, etc., helping with elderly/disabled people).
This was my thought too when it was first discussed, but now he wants to use the same AI to power a humanoid robot, which (if it worked) would make this easy.
My guess is that the performance of AI necessary for humanoid robots will not be available in a fully independent form-factor for at least 5-10 years after level 5 full self driving… but that belief is due to the electrical power envelope, so a humanoid robot whose sole purpose is these kinds of non-driving taxi related tasks, that I can believe may come sooner.
