Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own...I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated…... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usuall happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience
No they won't. The capacity is too low in relation to the upkeep. You'd need 30-100 of these (depending on how willing people are to ride-share) to match the capacity of a single commuter bus. ONE bus. Imagine how much more that'll cost in maintience alone. And imagine the congestion in rush hour. If you intend to replace the buses of a large city with these you're talking about an influx of fifty or hundreds of thousands of vehicles into already congested cities. At best these will be an alternative to Uber... in safe, gated upper middle-class neighborhoods where there's no risk of someone just placing an obstacle in the road to force the 'driver' to stop, then treating the pod like a Kinder egg filled with isolated easily robbable passengers.
Does the passenger have any control; if something might need the use of an emergency brake? The whole thing is eerie/creepy - do the passengers know how much battery is left
A wheel chair accessible one would be great also Maybe something where it can lock the wheels into place or something and a small ramp that comes down. Shuttling people to appointments
I hope they have plans to deal with the vomits of drunk people in real-life use. If they don't clean these often, it will be very uncomfortable for the customers.
It doesn't matter whether it would be a Ferrari, a simple Ford truck, fuel or electric engines: they all became obsolete! A car like this means no need to buy a car for most people. And for those that use cars all day long it should a more economical option, and without any hidden costs nor liabilities. Wonderful!
I see this replacing cars in a lot of urban areas but in suburban neighborhoods and out in the middle of nowhere their effectiveness might really start to drop off compared to personal owned vehicles, say for example a lawn care business that needs to carry around lawn mowers and weed wackers, or a family that is late to an event and doesn't have time to wait for a zoox to come to their house first
Fools, urban areas have way more congestion and people or streets without lines and obstacles this would never work stop the nonsense, what will people do when they have multiple places to go to and park at the mall and come back with bags, or people who leave filth or nasty things inside. This will never work especially in a high traffic area and what die it do I a snow storm or hard rain or if the electricity goes out this thing is no good. 😂😅
World's first?? You sure? Its like world championship but participating teams are all American only. China has already used these type of car for more than a year now. Driverless has been already done
She end up not explaining the main reason why the car is symmetrical. It's mainly because of production cost reasons. One of the things that make a car expensive to produce is the molds made to produce the body panels. They are VERY expensive. Which is one of the reasons a car is only cost effective if made in large numbers. So in order to make it cheaper to produce, the best way is to cut on the quantity of molds. Also since the glasses used are also symmetrical, this also helps reduce cost of production (car glass is also very expensive to produce). With the car being symmetrical, you cut the cost of molds and glass by half. Plus it becomes cheaper to replace parts, since you have way more similar parts that can be used on several cars, on both sides, front or back. Instead of needing that one specific new piece that only fits on that one specific place in the car.

Yeah but when you look at China, all the Tech and fashion, it all looks like 'American Instagram aesthetics' 😂 even their kids dress like American Instagrammers 😂 Many of them came to American tech schools, they saw the materials in American iPhones and started making all their new architecture and technology look the same. 😂
@@DefensisIndusthey come to America to learn English and not tech, stop lying. That is why most of your tech gadgets including the phone you’re typing from is produced in china
@@ahmad305 The first purpose built bus, van or robotaxi whatever you call it were definitely in China, probably in Guangzhou. The videos are still on youtube. Just type "driverless bus guangzhou" in "search" youtube. They look exactly like the current one she is showing. Apolong by Baidu. Some as old as two to three years old.
Not sure that will last long. That shit will get stolen vandalized etc. Like what happened to that autonomous food delivery robot... Fix other things first to get the culture to respect general society. Fix access to higher education, laws, etc. Probably not in my lifetime.
The one thing I see happening is people thinking they are all alone while the microphone is on without their knowledge! The laws will be slow catching up to this technology!
This legit looks a convenient way to commute, i can see it being actually useful than just being gimmicky, it doesn't deviate away from the whole idea of taxi and that's the reason for having good potential for future, but one thing to see in future is whether zoox can survive due to other companies being keen on developing their own tech, and also zoox has to think about the conventional taxi industry, which involves multi billion dollar companies like uber, and also all the drivers who would show heavy resistance to this tech, and all the taxi hailing companies joining hands in crushing this tech, or they may just end up joining hands with zoox..... I think a hybrid model where both taxi drivers and driverless taxis exist should be there,
Out of any company doing autonomous vehicles, I’m most excited about Zoox. Feel like they have the most innovative design that really takes advantage of the tech. No front or back, passengers facing each other, etc.
As stated, there are already other purpose-built cars that have very similar seat arrangements in other countries. The US is really falling behind here on self-driving vehicles and drones. Also, the entire concept of those back facing seats might work great for some people, but there are many people that have a hard time sitting in back-facing seats on a train which is many fold smoother than the smoothest car ride and they feel like puking 10 minutes in. Not sure if it's just a great design choice honestly. At least in the train you can find a seat that facing the front more easily. Tough call if there's 4 of you calling a Zoox and 3 easily get motion sick.
@SouthAh Not really. This design is based on horse carriage in US 1800's. If anything, all technologies in China today are copied from the West. Eg invention of cars, computers, airplanes etc.
This so advanced looks straight from China. i would like to see four people riding it together, interacting with each other and enjoying the travel. Max speed at 120km is great because that's the maximum allowed legal speed on most highways in most countries while city roads and traffic allow significantly lower speeds.
Have they figured out what to do when you get stuck with a drunk that hurls all over the place? not interested in that situation at all lol and it happens
Yep, I live in Vegas and those Toyotas are an obiquitous sight here for the past several years with all the gadgets surrounding the vehicle....you'd see one of 'em every five minutes anywhere in the valley. I finally saw the end product (Robotaxi) a couple months ago around that area where Supercar Blondie was cruising....turning right from Sunset heading into Rainbow towards Russell. Maybe that was her filming this segment.
@@1forrest1 I am an heiress sweetie. I get what I want. I already have 5 now. 🤣 Obviously I am joking. I am from the UK. there's no way we will have that tech here anytime soon.
Quite the opposite, China has been caught stealing this technology from American companies. All you have to do is Google (e.g. from Apple). Also there have been other Robotaxis tested and approved somewhat before this in the US (Waymo, Cruise and others).
I have a thought? Has this car been tested for accident scenarios? Just say another car hits it what are its maneuvers to take the clients to safety? What if the temperature goes down to zero, electronics are affected so would this car be a seasonal or an all round weather car . Imagine you using phones and other devices, are they any interceptions that may affect its AI systems 🤔
She explains in the beginning that’s not what she means. Not the first autonomous because waymo has been a thing in the States since 2023, but the first robocar built for purpose, not a commercially built car repurposed for autonomous taxi .
this is nice, but I have only one question.. especially in Vegas, who uses Taxi are travelers, people moving with luggage... I do not see any luggage storage here, where customers would put any? or.. you are not supposed to have any luggage too use this service ?
I've got some questions.. But first, I know we have to advance as a species and we can't do that if we don't try out ideas. But then, creating a car like this with the tech needed to keep it functional, both on it and for diagnostics and maintenance, isn't that more expensive than having someone in the car doing the driving? Maybe this time with little input just as a taxi or bus, at least over the lifespan of the vehicle. Cause I feel with the tech and amount of support it would need in terms of maintenance and stuffs, it would be cheaper to have someone run this over the lifespan of the car, bus, taxi thing.

This legit looks a convenient way to commute, i can see it being actually useful than just being gimmicky, it doesn't deviate away from the whole idea of taxi and that's the reason for having good potential for future, but one thing to see in future is whether zoox can survive due to other companies being keen on developing their own tech, and also zoox has to think about the conventional taxi industry, which involves multi billion dollar companies like uber, and also all the drivers who would show heavy resistance to this tech, and all the taxi hailing companies joining hands in crushing this tech, or they may just end up joining hands with zoox..... I think a hybrid model where both taxi drivers and driverless taxis exist should be there,
The parent company of Zoox is Amazon. I don't think they have to worry about taxi hailing companies joining hands to "crush" them.

World's First?
Ai and Robotics IS the future
Out of any company doing autonomous vehicles, I’m most excited about Zoox. Feel like they have the most innovative design that really takes advantage of the tech. No front or back, passengers facing each other, etc.
They copied the Chinese design
As stated, there are already other purpose-built cars that have very similar seat arrangements in other countries. The US is really falling behind here on self-driving vehicles and drones. Also, the entire concept of those back facing seats might work great for some people, but there are many people that have a hard time sitting in back-facing seats on a train which is many fold smoother than the smoothest car ride and they feel like puking 10 minutes in. Not sure if it's just a great design choice honestly. At least in the train you can find a seat that facing the front more easily. Tough call if there's 4 of you calling a Zoox and 3 easily get motion sick.
@SouthAh Not really. This design is based on horse carriage in US 1800's. If anything, all technologies in China today are copied from the West. Eg invention of cars, computers, airplanes etc.
@@OlBlow-qv6oz that kind of horse carriage design did not start in the USA, it started in Egypt actually
@@SouthAh ancient Rome.
We had driverless buses in Estonia already 6 years ago....
So lucky
what a nice robotaxi zoox, so cool👋🏻👋🏻
you really should see a doctor for the crazy waving arm thing!!!
this is brilliant, can't wait to commute with this kind of things
Maybe a weird question, but how are the seats, they look so hard to me?
This so advanced looks straight from China. i would like to see four people riding it together, interacting with each other and enjoying the travel. Max speed at 120km is great because that's the maximum allowed legal speed on most highways in most countries while city roads and traffic allow significantly lower speeds.
People back in 1985 from who created "back to the future" Must see how 2024 future cars have been made 😂😂😂😂
Oh shucks! Blondie, I thought it had wings- on it!
Have they figured out what to do when you get stuck with a drunk that hurls all over the place? not interested in that situation at all lol and it happens
yow thats so cool😮
here in Florida, you can turn right on red as well. traffic permitting that is. looks like Uber will get a few i'd imagine.
500 bucks say a chinese company is gonna steal this tech and rename it xzoo
Xzoomi
The Chinese don't need to copy this tech- they're developing their own.
“Xzoo - taxi no driver, fun trip happy go!”
Funny you say that
China has already fricking autonomous bus LMAO
When it comes to autonomous they are way ahead of any country
No need, robotaxi already running in China. This thing here is probably running on Chinese tech anyway
Finished watching 13:40
Crazy 😅
% parts made in China ? or by China ?
Super
China is way ahead 😂
Awesome ❤🔥
How does it deal with rowdy passengers that vomit on the floor and seat or urinate in the cab?
Yep, I live in Vegas and those Toyotas are an obiquitous sight here for the past several years with all the gadgets surrounding the vehicle....you'd see one of 'em every five minutes anywhere in the valley. I finally saw the end product (Robotaxi) a couple months ago around that area where Supercar Blondie was cruising....turning right from Sunset heading into Rainbow towards Russell. Maybe that was her filming this segment.
No need for a hotel room 😂😂😂, if you know what I mean
What about real taxi drivers? Lost jobs???
Time to retire
@@SaidAlRashdi
But there is yang taxi drivers also...it is hard topic
Taxis are old school? Who still uses them?
This is too cool
@@rickscott2928
in my city still use taxi whit real drivers...but ok you got your opinion i got my...
They will have time to pivot to new work before autonomous taxis take over. It will be a while. For many years this will just be a novelty.
We NEED those here in Chicago... Autonomous buses as well. 🤪
Oh I want one!!!! This is so cool.
They wont sell it... You use an app
@@1forrest1 I am an heiress sweetie. I get what I want. I already have 5 now. 🤣 Obviously I am joking. I am from the UK. there's no way we will have that tech here anytime soon.
@@kingpuppet5881 European streets might struggle with this tech.
Chinese company baidu also have robot car，can try it
China has had this technology operating for over two years now and with the same shape. What a copy and paste
Quite the opposite, China has been caught stealing this technology from American companies. All you have to do is Google (e.g. from Apple). Also there have been other Robotaxis tested and approved somewhat before this in the US (Waymo, Cruise and others).
It's the other way around bruh.
@@Factfive nope baidu has been doing it since 2018 so nope
@@LaowaiDaveJCP Waymo originated at Stanford University in 2004 before it was eventually adopted by Google in 2009.
@@LaowaiDaveJCPGoogle waymo has robotaxi way before Baidu duh
I have a thought? Has this car been tested for accident scenarios?
Just say another car hits it what are its maneuvers to take the clients to safety?
What if the temperature goes down to zero, electronics are affected so would this car be a seasonal or an all round weather car .
Imagine you using phones and other devices, are they any interceptions that may affect its AI systems 🤔
why are you doing infomercials now
Because it pays
X says it saves money , and no Driver from Somalia😮
So are we to call these things FARTS 😂 fully autonomous robot taxi 😊
Truly amazing 😊
Go look at Tesla that’s the true self driving and collecting the data that’s the key
Think about google
Tesla has dojo and all the data
Didn’t say how much it costs Blondie.
Tesla draws maps on its own based the place its on. Needs no map or no predefined routes required.
No that's not first China already use longtime ago
It is not the first. World consist of other countries. Unmanned Taxis have been launched in China many months back.
She explains in the beginning that’s not what she means. Not the first autonomous because waymo has been a thing in the States since 2023, but the first robocar built for purpose, not a commercially built car repurposed for autonomous taxi .
The fact that a Zoox recording car drove by WHILE you were reviewing it is such a coincidence: 9:50
Might be cool one day, but I'd still like to have a sportscar to enjoy 👌
R.I.P pakistani/indian drivers 😢😢😢
Bruh
China already has s tonne of these roaming in their cities
this is nice, but I have only one question.. especially in Vegas, who uses Taxi are travelers, people moving with luggage... I do not see any luggage storage here, where customers would put any? or.. you are not supposed to have any luggage too use this service ?
Modular, easy to replace interior for all the drunken oopsies that will happen is a must.
How much does it cost? And if I buy one can I use it as a business with Uber and lyft?
I've got some questions..
But first, I know we have to advance as a species and we can't do that if we don't try out ideas.
But then, creating a car like this with the tech needed to keep it functional, both on it and for diagnostics and maintenance, isn't that more expensive than having someone in the car doing the driving? Maybe this time with little input just as a taxi or bus, at least over the lifespan of the vehicle.
Cause I feel with the tech and amount of support it would need in terms of maintenance and stuffs, it would be cheaper to have someone run this over the lifespan of the car, bus, taxi thing.
