"Musk's carrot is coming to seize the taxi market"
(whoosh)
"I commented on his TikTok and was so angry that I couldn't sleep for half the night"
(Swoosh)…
In an online car-hailing service, the driver, who was in his 50s, was sending voice messages to communicate with his friends. I could tell that he was probably talking about the recent hot topics of Carrot Run and driverless taxis.
Well, let’s just talk about it and see what the online car-hailing drivers think:
(He seems to have a Northeastern accent, with a hint of Tianjin)
Cold Bar: Master, have you also seen the incident where the carrot ran away?
master: How can we not watch it? This is what we do.
Cold bar:Will it take away your business?
master:It's really a business grabber. Just think about it, it costs 4 yuan for 6 kilometers, why not take it? It's so cheap, why not take it?
master:The most hateful one is him (the anchor mentioned at the beginning of the article) who said that he once took a taxi from the airport in the middle of the night. The fare was clearly 100 yuan, but the taxi driver asked him for 300 yuan. He said that he didn’t need to bargain for the price and didn’t take a detour, so he didn’t have to worry about anything.
I got angry when I heard this, and I told him that the air tickets to Hainan increased to tens of thousands during the Spring Festival, and when the tourist season arrived, the hotel rooms in Beijing increased from 200 yuan to 800-900 yuan. Why didn't anyone say anything?
If the taxi fare increases by 200 yuan, you can just take advantage of us. We have also clearly marked the price, so it's up to you whether you want to take a ride or not.
master:When he said this, I watched all the programs he did on TV before. He always spoke well and every word was on point. But after he finished speaking this time, I was so angry. I watched this video around 8 o'clock in the evening. I was driving and thinking about it the whole time. It was not until I got home and parked my car in the middle of the night that I responded to his question.
Oh, this is the kind of person that makes me wonder, have you been corrupted by someone?
Cold bar:Can he see your reply?
master:He can definitely see it. But whether he replies or not is definitely his problem. I must say what I should say. If I don't say it, I will feel uncomfortable. I have to say what I want to say.
Cold bar:Which host?
master:He is not a host, but he works for xx TV station.
Cold bar:Does he support the idea of ​​running away?
master:I support you. I think you shouldn't get involved in this mess. I've watched all your previous programs, and everything you said was good. I gave you thumbs up, but this time, I really was wrong.
master:There are also people saying that the online car-hailing taxi driver provides poor service and has a conflict with the passenger. If you take a taxi and waste time, and you have a conflict with the car, who can you blame?
My car is going slowly in this lane, so I can change to that lane. But you, the driverless car, have to wait here. When you are anxious and can't catch up on time, who are you having a conflict with?
Cold bar:The popularity of radishes isn't that fast, is it?
master:It's something that's spreading quickly.
You are developing very fast and well, and you are the best in the world. Why don’t you try promoting your business in the American market?
Cold bar:If it becomes popular, what will you and other drivers do? What will you do?
master:If it is to be popularized, basically no one will be able to work in taxis, Didi, and Gaode. Those cars are so cheap, who would take them?
Cold bar:What will you do then?
master:What can I do? I am unemployed. At our age, taxis and online ride-hailing services may be our last straw. No one will hire me if I go out to look for a job. And how can I support my family with only two or three thousand yuan?
Tell me if you are angry or not.
Cold bar:There is a saying that more new jobs will be created after unmanned rental housing is released.
master:How can there be a new job? You should first arrange for us online car-hailing taxi drivers and then push it. How can there be a new job?
After the promotion of artificial intelligence, there will be no more violations, surveillance cameras will be useless, and then there will be... a chain reaction.
master:You can buy a car with self-driving system. If you drink too much, you can use self-driving system. You can buy a car with self-driving system, but don't steal our jobs. You can sell any car with self-driving system. It costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per system. You can sell a car for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan more.
A host interviewed a university professor, and he said that when cars were invented and replaced horse-drawn carriages, didn't the carriage drivers also find other jobs?
At that time, the horse-drawn carriage drivers were all farmers. If they stopped driving horse-drawn carriages, they could go home and farm. What would people like us who drive taxis do?
Cold bar:Times have changed
master:Can the times be the same? He said something that was out of touch with the world.
Cold bar:Many people use the analogy of cars and horse-drawn carriages.
master:Yes, I said, what kind of expert are you, what kind of professor are you, are you out of touch with the world? Let me use this as an analogy.
Cold bar:What do you think of the drivers in Beijing now?
master:People are now saying on the Internet that there is nothing drivers can do, and the impact of unmanned taxis is not that big now.
master:You install one on a Buick, and whoever needs it can just buy a Buick. I don't have time to pick up my kids today, so I'll let the car pick them up. I can't drive after drinking, so can I drive myself home?
Just prove that you have the ability, you are stealing my job.
master:Today someone said that driverless cars are not completely driverless. If one person is controlling three cars in the background and something happens, does the person in the background have any responsibility?
Cold bar:When the car encounters a situation, it is operated by people in the background and generally will not move.
master:Yes, there was a car parked on the road, and the person in the background told the traffic police what to do, and the traffic police drove the car away.
master:It seems that we are working hard to support our families, raise our children, and care for the elderly, but in fact we are also contributing to society and increasing the city's transportation capacity.
Cold bar:The current cost of a Carrot Run is 200,000 yuan. There is a saying that you can let the drivers buy it and let the car run to make money for the drivers.
master:If a driver can spend 200,000 yuan to buy a self-driving car, why would he do that? Nowadays, everyone is trying to catch a fly with a toad - when there is just enough food to eat, which driver can spend 200,000 yuan to buy a self-driving car?
If you want to share the money, one taxi driver can pay for one taxi and pay it back within a certain period of time, that's fine. But is that possible now? Can the driverless car companies still make money?
Its purpose now is very clear, which is to seize the market of online car-hailing taxis. It has pushed the price so low that it is now burning money. Once the money is gone and the jobs are taken away, it will raise the price. Isn't this the rule of capital operation?
master:Just now I saw me pulling you, it was more than 40 yuan for 30 kilometers, my gas money was 40 cents, I made less than 1 yuan per kilometer, how do you make money for us?
Why do our online ride-hailing taxi drivers have to die in their cars? Isn't it because they don't earn any money but use their time to fight the epidemic? Isn't it because of lack of sleep that leads to cardiac arrest?
Cold bar:Where are you from? Tianjin?
master:Liaoning
Cold bar:What job did you do before?
master:Oh, I do traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation. It was okay in my hometown before, but it hasn’t been working so well in recent years, so I came to Beijing and got a car to drive first.
Some people just leave it to fate. There is no point in saying these two sentences. It's just for fun. Some things still need to be considered in the big picture. There is no such thing as fairness and justice. In the end, you have to digest it yourself.
In the end, it will become truly popular. You have to live, and you can also die, but you just have to be angry, and eventually you will digest it slowly yourself.
Cold bar:What kind of jobs do people of your age do in your hometown?
master:Hey, some of my friends are chefs, some are machinists, some are welders, some are farmers, some are truck drivers and stone haulers, anyway, they do everything. My classmates and friends all work in the land, just to earn some hard-earned money.
If you don’t have very rich friends, you won’t be able to make friends like this.
I have an old friend whose family may have tens of billions of dollars, and he happened to meet such a rich person.
He was in his 60s and died of an acute cerebral hemorrhage.
