    I mean, even on top of maintenance the entire system is basically just on rails, it has to be mapped out manually, every car has a ‘guy in the chair’ that can control the car remotely if necessary, they also got guys in unmarked vans that follow the driverless cars in case of emergency, and on top of that every car is constantly collecting data and that storage is insane, all of that falls under operational costs completely independent of maintenance issues
