The typical idea given is you've got an airline and you have to make money from your airline assets, but the planes aren't allowed to leave the ground.
Okay. One of the ideas I had just writing here was there should be a way to make money for London taxi drivers when they're not moving, which is to rent the space.
If every London taxi just had a small table and you could call down a taxi and say, "I basically want your cab for a Zoom call for an hour. I want to work in it. You go off and have a meal, right? I'll pay you a reasonable rate for the rent of your cab as effectively stationary office space or actually if you wanted to snooze."
Yeah. I mean, you got to have some rules because there's a problem with Whimo with people having sex in the cars.
Oh. Which is when you have driverless taxis, it doesn't take long for people suddenly to get quite amorous. Uh so there is a way problem uh with that which they have to address.
There have to be other things you could use taxis for other than just as a mode of transport. Cuz the big problem in London is if you're out and about in London and you've got a Zoom call at 1:00, you've got to do something dumb like go to a cafe and then order three coffees and find a stupid corner which is generally a pain. And actually every taxi is potentially an office.
Yeah. Have you been in a way more before?
Yes, once in Austin. I agree with my colleague who said it's totally chill at speeds of 20, 30, 40 mph. But on the open at 60 or 70, you'd get a bit spooked.
