Car costs considerably more than your 150k figure. Probably by something like 2-3x
> Let me paraphrase it like this: If we equip a Chrysler Pacifica Van or a Jaguar I-Pace with our sensors and computers, it costs no more than a moderately equipped Mercedes S-Class. So for the entire package, including the car - today,
So I think the $150k is a good estimate.
They’d just make their own like zoox.
That said if it is then 2x would drop the margin in half. Still a healthy margin and I do wonder what the Geely car cost will be. Note when I say "car" I mean everything for the car to drive itself, which is the car, the sensor suite, etc. I did not figure on the operational staffing as another comment pointed out.
