Fleet Economics Focus - CyberCab is designed as a fleet vehicle, not a personal car [1] - Fleet managers prioritize metrics like weight, dispatch reliability, flexible usage, annual utilization, and turnaround time [1][3] - Adding pedals and steering wheel negatively impacts key fleet metrics [1] Design and Manufacturing Considerations - Adding pedals and steering wheel increases weight, price, and complexity [1] - It complicates manufacturing and requires reengineering of existing parts [1] Operational Efficiency - Adding weight increases energy consumption, requiring more frequent recharging [2] - Modifications harm dispatch reliability due to more parts being prone to failure [1] - Modifications reduce passenger capacity, decreasing potential rides and utilization [1] - Modifications increase interior cleaning time, negatively impacting turnaround time [1] Optimization Goal - CyberCab is optimized for the lowest operating cost per mile over its lifetime [2]
