    the end-goal of self-driving cars: a world where anyone, anywhere can
    summon a car directly to their doorstep, travel safely to their destination, all
    for an extremely low price.

  7. Why Voyage is well designed.
    Solution
    Solution Space: Intuitive usability, core
    functionality tied to information, comfort,
    and entertainment.
    Problem Space: Addresses a core
    problem with Self Driving cars; Most
    people won’t buy SDC’s. Depending on
    adoption curves (s shaped like iPhone or
    linear because of higher adoption)

  9. Three areas, I would
    identify to improve
    Features: Additional feature
    personalization in the app. Car seat,
    faster vehicle, VR headset. Etc.
    Business Model: Move from Free model to
    subscription service model like Netflix.
    User Adoption: Referrals system

  10. Feature Improvements
    Moar!!! Personalizations
    Users want more car options to entertain,
    inform, and make them more productive
    while traveling.
    Including a “Personalize your Voyage”
    module will increase data points while
    providing additional value for rider.
    Grow activations by 10% month over
    month for 6 months

  11. Business/Rev Model Improvement
    “Netflix for Taxis” “Taxi and Chill? “
    Cost of customer acquisition is high
    because we have more vehicles on the
    road, and thus increased maintenance.
    Moving from free to $xx/mo
    subscription model for transaction-less
    on-demand access to fleet will cover
    increased fleet management cost.
    Sustain paid subscriptions by 5% month
    over month for 6 months

  12. User Adoption/Virality Improvement
    Autonomous transport is a nascent
    industry and as such consumers do not see
    the value, safety, freedom of affordable
    autonomous transport.
    Improving referrals via a in-app system
    can have 10x on user adoption.
    Grow referrals by 10% month over month
    for 6 months
    Referrals system

  16. Addendum: How it
    works 1. Summon a Voyage self-driving car right
    to your doorstep. The car will take you
    directly right to your destination (not a
    shuttle!)
    2. Jump in the car, fasten your seatbelt, get
    comfortable, then slide to start the
    journey.
    3. Control your Voyage (AC, music etc.)
    right from the app and journey from A to
    B safely.
