RoboTaxi, Drop Me Off Here...Or Not
Episode Summary:In this episode of the Kilowatt podcast, I explore the challenges of RoboTaxis, referred to as "Robo Oopsies." I assess listener Peter's experience with his Ford Escape hybrid and how driving habits affect electric range. We discuss Tesla’s regulatory hurdles in Europe, including recent scrutiny over its marketing terms, and halted autonomous testing in Stockholm.
