@benjistokman @docpop the IRS mileage rate is around $0.65 per mile I think. That’s supposed to cover cost of operation and maintenance. Driving on city streets in SF, these cars can probably manage to average 10mph or less.

Let’s assume each one of these cars gets hailed once an hour and can find parking for the rest of the hour. Parking would have to be closer to $6.50 an hour or less for parking to be cheaper than driving.

Factor in the bonus data gathering opportunity, and it makes sense.
