In April this year, Musk announced on his social media that Tesla will launch a driverless taxi "Robotaxi" on August 8 this year, which means that large-scale full self-driving cars will gradually become a reality.
That is, in the near future, taxis without drivers and steering wheels will appear on the streets of various cities, and there will be more and more of them.
Imagine that in the future, as long as you have a Tesla self-driving taxi, it can run out and make money for you, isn't it crazy?
If this is replaced by someone else, I may be very disdainful, because from the current point of view, it is almost impossible to achieve the full popularization of unmanned driving, and even Wang Chuanfu, the founder of BYD, has publicly said that the so-called "automatic driving" is a pretense of deception and unreliable.
But this time, the driving force behind it is Musk, who is both engaged in Starlink and building rockets, which makes me have to pay attention to Tesla's upcoming driverless taxis, and I also have to believe that in the near future, the possibility that unmanned driving will be fully popularized, maybe you feel the same way.
The concept of autonomous driving was proposed as early as ten years ago, and our domestic Baidu has also been working in this direction, but no new progress has been made, and I didn't expect to be preempted by Musk.
The biggest problem facing autonomous driving is safety, and it is inevitable that a living person will sit in a car without a driver and a steering wheel to drive around, but Musk recently emphasized again at Tesla's shareholder meeting that the safety of autonomous driving is much higher than that of human driving.
What does autonomous driving depend on? Relying on the super algorithm of artificial intelligence, people are mixed with various emotions and emotional factors, which are very unstable, while machines have no emotions and can be absolutely rational, objectively speaking, in driving, artificial intelligence is indeed more reliable than people.
Artificial intelligence is beginning to usher in a big explosion, and with the continuous update and iteration of AI technology, it is only a matter of time before cars reach fully autonomous driving without supervision.
In addition, Musk's upcoming driverless taxi is said to be low-cost.
Imagine that in the future, you no longer need to deal with the driver when you go out to take a taxi, you can easily make an appointment on your mobile phone, and the travel cost is lower than taking the bus and subway, what is that experience?
This is good news for most of us, but as long as Musk's self-driving system matures, it will be a devastating blow to companies like Didi Chuxing, as well as to most car companies.
Driven by Tesla's unmanned driving, it is now foreseeable that there will be fewer and fewer domestic car companies that can survive in the future, just like the smart phones of the year, just like the smart phones of the year, just beginning to bloom everywhere, all kinds of copycat machines are everywhere, with the intensification of competition, slowly only a few giants with core competitiveness remain, and in another ten years, the probability of domestic car companies will be like this.
When many entrepreneurs are still thinking about how to get the money from the vegetable seller into their pockets, Musk is already beginning to explore Mars, when domestic car companies are still fighting a price war, Musk is already quietly laying out the driverless track, when many people are still thinking about how to run Didi in the future to make more money, Musk's driverless taxi is ready to go.
Why does Musk not only have a huge number of fans around the world, but also a very large number of loyal fans in our country? I think there's only one answer:
Musk is special enough, he's almost different from everyone, and he's quite right, which is rare.
As the richest man in the world, Musk can earn 100 million in almost an hour, but he does not have a mansion, a luxury yacht, a song and dance troupe, and is not keen on luxury vacations, but devotes himself to the cause of "immigrating to Mars".
Many so-called entrepreneurs are just doing business, and for Musk, business is just a means for him to achieve immigration to Mars, and it is not in one dimension at all.
Zhang Yiming, the founder of Douyin and Toutiao, is also a big fan of Musk, Zhang Yiming once said that he was very envious of what Musk did, and many bosses were racking their brains to think about how to kill competitors, and what Musk did had no competitors at all.
In The Art of War, Sun Wu divided competition and confrontation into four levels, from highest to lowest, which were Raiding, Raiding, Raiding, and Siege.
The masters of Xiazheng are competing in the dimension of "plotting", Musk is a master of plotting, is a typical strategist, almost no one can understand his bureau, in our country, at present, there may be only one who can be compared with Musk, Ma Yun is one, if you have to add one, I think it is Zhang Yiming, the founder of Douyin and Toutiao, most other entrepreneurs, in essence, are just businessmen.
Musk's greatness is not because he can make a lot of money, let alone because he is the richest man in the world, but because he dares to think about things that others dare not think, and dares to do things that others dare not do, and more importantly, the bulls he once bragged about have basically been realized one by one.
Although some are still on the way to realization, there is almost nothing that people like Musk can't do as long as it is theoretically feasible.
Musk is an outlier, as I have said in other articles and videos before, Musk is not only an entrepreneur, but also an entrepreneur, strategist and dreamer, always living outside the perception of most people, almost no one can understand Musk's layout, no one knows what he wants to do.
Break the tradition, break the inherent cognition, follow the first principle, do things according to the law, dare to think and dare to do, the most scarce in the world is this kind of people, because they stand tall enough, because they are scarce enough, so they can hardly find competitors, and there is no so-called involution.
Why do many people often feel that business is getting harder and harder now? Why do many people fall into the whirlpool of involution unconsciously? And how to get rid of involution? In fact, the answer can be found from Musk's body.
Musk is about to launch a driverless taxi, which industries and people do you think this "driverless" technological revolution will impact?
