A car that doesn&#8217;t require any paid driver in it eliminates huge cost overheads. Electricity is of course also far cheaper than petrol or diesel too.<\/p>\n<p>Together you get a new form of Transport as a Service (TaaS).<\/p>\n<p>TaaS is a new term to describe companies like Uber or Lyft. Ones where instead of buying the car, you just pay for it like any other service. Amusingly, the &#8220;<em><strong>X<\/strong><\/em>aaS&#8221; style acronym is directly taken from the IT world. There you have Software as a Service (SaaS) and other cloud infrastructure terms.

No one at all in the car. Just an empty vehicle whooshing along. This is when true TaaS comes into play and it will happen very soon.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a lot of other technologies, TaaS has multiple companies throwing billions at it. Uber, Lyft, Ford, Tesla and on and on. They&#8217;re all racing to develop it first which means it&#8217;s going to come quicker than people think. Estimates vary of course but most agree it&#8217;ll be a reality within 5 years, 10 max.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Care_About_Self_Driving_Cars\"><\/span>Why Care About Self Driving Cars?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Waymo-Jag-On-Street-1024x729.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"534\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1729\" scale=\"0\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Waymo-Jag-On-Street-1024x729.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Waymo-Jag-On-Street-300x213.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Waymo-Jag-On-Street-768x546.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Waymo-Jag-On-Street.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When full TaaS kicks in, the reduced costs will be dramatic. No driver. No petrol costs. Near 100% constant operation of the vehicle. The car won&#8217;t be left in a parking lot all day, it will be used 24\/7\/365.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this far higher utilization factor, the economics of the asset become much better. It sounds complicated but is in fact quite straightforward. If you buy a $10,000 car and use it once a year, you&#8217;re paying $10,000 per use. If you use that same car 10,000 times per year (roughly 28 times a day) it now costs you $1 per use.<\/p>\n<p>While we don&#8217;t think about our cars this way today, companies like Uber will in the future. With it operating 24\/7\/365 they can have the car (asset) make more trips, earn more profit and thus get a better return. That in turn means they can offer their services at a cheaper price to you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TaaS_vs_Ownership\"><\/span>TaaS vs Ownership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Below you can see a very quick comparison between the two systems. The current model of car ownership and the future TaaS. In it I have used one of the more efficient and low cost cars the Mazda 2. The bigger the car, the higher the savings go. I&#8217;ve assumed around 6L\/100km for the Mazda 2 and travel of 15,000 km each year.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore let&#8217;s assume you keep the car for 10 years. This means that a simple yearly &#8220;cost&#8221; estimate for purchasing the car is $1,700. Also note these are <em><strong>Australian<\/strong><\/em> based cost estimates but the calculations would be similar globally.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Car<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Mazda 2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Tesla Model 3 (TaaS)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>New Purchase Cost:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$17,000<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Purchase Cost Per Year (10 Year Life):<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$1,700<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Range:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>400 km&#8217;s<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Cost Per Tank:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$39.00<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Cost Per Kilometer:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$0.0975<\/td>\n<td>$0.2793<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Insurance Costs ($850 Excess):<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$582<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Fuel Cost Per Year:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$1,463<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Registration Costs Per Year:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$772<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Maintenance Costs Per Year:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>$500<\/td>\n<td>$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total Yearly Costs:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>$5,016<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>$4,190<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As you can see it ends up cheaper to simply use TaaS than manage your own car. You may be wondering where that $0.2793 cost per kilometer figure came from though. This rate was taken from estimating the per kilometer cost of two separate Uber rides. One was a short trip (~5 km), the other long distance (~20 km). The total cost of both was averaged to find the cost per kilometer. That final figure was then reduced <em><strong>by a factor of 10!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calculating_TaaS_Costs\"><\/span>Calculating TaaS Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" scale=\"0\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.alexshoolman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2028\/07\/Gold-Bars.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, that rate is <em><strong>one tenth<\/strong> <\/em>of what an Australian might pay per kilometer right now.
