Replacing 1 bus with 5 robovans allows for more routes and more a more frequent pick up schedule. They also don't have the noise and exhaust fumes of the buses. Finally, they will probably be safer.

[@robj5780]

The Robovan is way too big to fit in a Boring Tunnel (current Tunnel Size). There are videos of the cybertruck driving through the tunnel and it barely cleared the edges. Hyperloop vacuum is to make sure there is no air in front of the vehicle to slow it down. Creating a vacuum underneath the vehicle not only increases resistance but does nothing to move the air out of the way. The super low ground clearance of the van was accomplished by an adjustable air suspension. Without it, it would never be able to drive normal, uneven, roads. This is not to say the Robovan is such a crazy idea. It just doesn't have the benefits you mention in this video. The tight turns in the Boring tunnels in Las Vegas might be on the map but the tunneling machine won't be able to dig tunnels with tight turns.

[@billweberx]

The Boring tunnels are 12 feet wide. It might fit. If not, the Boring Co is designing a new boring machine that is 21 feet wide. That should do it.

[@Tanstaaflitis]

They can also just make a smaller Robovan to fit the tunnels. Given the fleet size for the LV Loop is going to be in the small hundreds of vehicles, it doesn't make too much sense to optimize a high production vehicle specifically for that use.

Robovans will be allowed on HOV lanes as buses are. Most busses are not loaded to capacity almost all the time. Robovans can be used in increments of 20 passengers and can be added where needed based on real time and statistical information. I have not run a model on this but I am pretty good with numbers and my expectation is that Robovans in aggregate will require less space than existing bus systems in cities.

They can also hub-and-spoke where they bus in 40 people at a time with a dozen cybercabs ready to transport people to their final destination. As an integrated system the cabs would know to swarm the area just as the bus is pulling up, so there'd be little to no wait times and it could get pretty time-efficient for passengers.

[@LilHoss4k]

[@JSevillejo-ph]

I think the robovan is also the best form factor for what goes in the boring company tunnels. Very interseting!

[@phvaessen]

excellent, you made a lot of good points here. Also one bus could be replaced by three robovans which don't need to come all at the same time. Several robovans, means less waiting time. And robovans could communicate with each other, optimising the time interval between each, or calling extra robovans if the traffice is higher. Less waiting time, and lower cost than a personal robotaxi might even make the robovan more attractive than a cybercab. The robovan could have a less fixed route, and adapt it's route to the destination of each passenger. Imagine also a combination of robovan for the longer route, and a cybercab waiting for you at the regular stop for the last mile to get you at your final destination.

[@Seoulhawk01]

The minibus is a solution to a problem that’s already been addressed in many parts of the world. One challenge we all face is that our view of things can be limited by our location. If you’ve traveled and experienced global mass transit, you’d see that electric minibuses are already on the roads. In fact, I just watched a ribbon-cutting ceremony for an autonomous, electric minibus route. What I’d really like to see from Tesla is a focus on adapting the Semi into essential commercial vehicles we need-like a 40-foot long-haul bus, cement mixer, flatbed truck, and other practical applications. It’s fine to experiment with ideas like this, but let’s prioritize the more critical projects first.

[@ladasodaexplains3355]

I reserve my opinion about the idea of having smaller busses though. Reason being there are at times, a need for traditional, 40 feet long busses or even double-deckers in major cities. This can be a great model for areas that are less dense in America due to a bunch of historical reasons, but it's not like traditional busses are going to go away anytime soon even if the robovan starts selling tomorrow. I think the robovan would *complement* traditional busses, not replacing them at once. And remember railroads are still far superior in terms of cargo/passenger capacity and pollution. Keep in mind there's also a lot of other factors involved, like purchasing cost/long term cost, maintaince, and building another infrastructure to support charging the robovan (you can't expect all of them to charge in supercharging stations).

[@JonasViatte]

It’s nice, but really needs more window space, and a big glass panoramic ceiling. Also I hope the suspension it way adjustable, so it can raise up and do some off roading

[@SEBTECHDIY]

In my city we have a "rapibus", a rapid bus lane build separately from the regular car network. This system could use the fully automated robovan. The biggest problem we have is a shortage of bus drivers. FSD could solve this easily. Also, our bus service is limited to 6 am to 11pm while the FSD robovan could operate 24/7.

[@sharonscott9250]

Any vehicle that low WILL have problems. We still have a good number of the "low rider" cars around. With out using the hydraulics, they cannot enter many driveways (public or private) without scraping. Many roads cannot handle that much water. The roadways can have 3 or more inches deep water near the curbs during the often daily summer rain!! Florida, where a half inch of rain in 20 minutes is not unusual. Just the drainage down the sides are low enough to cause problems turning a corner.

Good theories. So many people forget to look at Musk's other products when they're deciphering why he chose a certain approach. A couple of years before Musk mentioned it at a show, I theorized that the boring machine was actually created to bore holes into Mars and the Moon for living habitats and everyone thought I was crazy.

[@HanTheProphet]

I think vacuum in hyperloop makes travel more efficient by getting rid of the air molecules in the way, while something like the McMurtry is less efficient in return for more grip. even if it can do it without fans, if you increase grip, you typically decrease efficiency. in this case it would be like constant downforce

[@rogerfroud300]

Yeah, they've had to admit that it's never going to work.

[@HanTheProphet]

@@rogerfroud300 yeah it may not be feasible, but in theory, this is actually less efficient despite using vacuum. The vacuum, if real, would be for grip in this case, not removing air molecules out of its path

[@robertblair8395]

All the talk about buses assumes they always carry a near max load of 40 passengers. Bushwah. The real figure is, on average, all trips included, less than half that. Because: fixed routes, return to depot etc. Robovan will be more efficient, and will have an average carry much closer to max.

[@rgberry69]

Your reasoning of why buses are bigger is way off. It is all about operating costs economics. I.e. The number of passengers (revenue) vs operating costs. Yes, maintenance is an operating cost, but its only one of. Drivers and fuel are the big costs. Having one driver for 50+ passengers is far better than one driver for 20 passengers. Bigger buses means less buses, which means less fuel consumption.

[@ohkee]

The other part of this that's overlooked is that a lot of buses because they're so big really can't go and do neighborhood routes, the robovan could potentially go to more places and increase the the adoption of mass transit.

That ground clearance would ground the Robovan in every city. But of course it won't because the Robovan is just a concept prototype, not an actual product.

[@bujin5455]

I love how people always assume busses are 100% efficient, running at peek capacity, and that it's efficient to force everyone to take much longer trips than need, in order to facilitate trying to make the most of that capacity. Assuming the bus is 100% full, and that the bus isn't elongating travel for passengers, then yes, robotaxi takes up more space for the same number of seats. But having ridden on a lot of busses, it's unusual for busses to be at 100% capacity (especially if you're not in a major city), there are many times I was the only person on the bus or one of very few people on the bus. So that whole bus was moving around just to get me from one place to the other. Loads of times when taking the bus, instead of taking a direct route that will efficiently get me to my destination, and therefore off of the road as soon as possible, the bus winds around through town trying to fill itself up. How about the efficiency gains to be had by better mapping capacity to necessity, and the efficiency gains of reducing unneeded travel to try to compensate for a one size fits all solution? I think the future has a place both for the van AND the cybercab, and efficiently mapping vehicles to their use case will improve life for everyone.

[@simonromijn3655]

You make some gteat points. Robocabs have the potential to entice people out of mass transit and make traffic worse. I believe this can be solved by adding a useage tax on robotaxis and private cars within commercial precints and using the revenue to fund mass transit options. The robovan can complement mass transit infrastructure by delivering people to an from rransit nodes to their preferred destinations. There will always be people who do not want to travel in a train, van or bus and pay for the privilege of not sitting next to someone with BO on a steamy hot day.
