Driverless cars are a routine sight in San Francisco, but the current robotaxi model may actually require more humans than the system it was meant to replace — with armies of workers inspecting, cleaning, and charging the autonomous vehicles in centralized depots at the end of every day.
Aseon Labs wants to solve the problem by distributing robotic pods across cities to autonomously service the vehicles throughout their day, during downtime they’d otherwise spend on the side of the road waiting for another ride.
Co-founder George Kalligeros joins Reed on this week’s Future Proof from Semafor Technology to talk about the problem, their first pod — and why real estate, not the robotics, is the real bottleneck.
