Musk is ready to compete with Uber.
The head of the Board of Directors of Tesla Motors Elon Musk said that the company is developing a car-share system, which will allow drivers to compete with taxi service Uber.
According to him, the system of the Tesla Network will earn money solely for car owners.
The car-share system was announced by Musk in July. “Tesla will bring you income while you work or rest… This will significantly reduce the cost of owning a car, almost everyone can afford a Tesla,” said Musk then.
According to the plans of Tesla, the car-share system needs to be developed immediately after the creation of reliable automated and the approval of the national regulators.
“It’s described as a Tesla against Uber. But actually this is not the Tesla competes with Uber, it’s people compete with Uber,” said Elon Musk.
It is obvious that Musk sees Tesla Network as a way to give vehicle owners a way to control the monetization of their own cars. Ideally, the vehicle itself will be able to pay for itself.
