The former COO of Lyft's critique of Lyft & Uber is an example of the magical thinking in the space.

It costs $1000 for them to acquire each driver in bonuses & ads but he says there are no such costs for robotaxis.

Does he think robotaxis will cost less than $1000 each?

@carnage4life A lot of "magical thinking" is just "people not being that bright".

Soooooo many people in positions of power are not as smart as people assume the *simply must* be to have a given role/position/amount of money.

Obviously people are finally seeing a very large example of this on the other social network.
