OK, again, the context is a "laundromat" business. Laundry as a service with an app to schedule pickup and delivery? OK, people have tried that. Not that exciting, not that scalable. You still need a lot of facilites, machines, and humans to make that work. It's not something that exists as a virtual product that can be scaled up with an AI.


Ok, again. Taxicabs are not exciting, not scaleable, and involve a lot of machines and humans to make them work.

How many iterations do you have in mind for this?

Will AI take over the taxicab business, somehow eliminating the need for cars and drivers?
