Don’t forget about execs and board members who think AI is a good ways to squeeze more money out of a company.
If the driver is liable and has to take over when the system fucks up, I don’t know how you can call it “full” self driving.
As I recall, you can get the OG cab on food trucks, but it’s something that they primarily sell to fleets vehicles. Consumers usually want the extra cab storage.
Off the bat, this thing is basically a dumb phone and it’s going to be very easy for third parties to mess with the platform. My bigger concern with the first launch is quality control. It’s a new vehicle, a new platform, and they’re trying to be extremely cost conscious. I won’t be surprised if there are quality issues with the first production run.
My guess is that, like with Rivian, Bezos is more interested in an EV platform for logistics. These are cheap, they don’t dent, they the don’t have a lot of electronics that can break, they can be easily retrofitted with new logistics platforms if you have an Allen wrench, they’re small enough for urban areas, and you don’t pay for gas.
Bezos is a lot of shitty things, but what made him rich was being a penny pinching logistics geek. This is right up his alley. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to operate.
The most exhausting thing is that, in a number of technology spaces, there is a new development every 6 months that forces teams to scramble. And very few organizations have found a way to train people about the new advances and how they will impact their jobs.
It’s either changing a core operational workflow, changing whether your customers are staying / migrating to a different product, changing the roadmap, etc.

Well now we know exactly where this person lives.
All of those top cities full of sprawl with high speed strodes. High speed strodes are famous for being more dangerous. They’re basically a highway with a sidewalk.
Two big use cases. You want to run MacOS and Linux on the same hardware, and you boot into each OS separately at different times.
Or, you have old personal or enterprise hardware sitting around, and you’d like to repurpose it for Linux. That use case is a tale as old as time.
