(Reuters) – General Motors Co (GM.N<\/a><\/span>), which plans a ride-sharing fleet of robotaxis for next year, is looking at further business opportunities for self-driving cars, such as custom designs that could be almost unrecognizable from those of today, a top executive said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Custom-designed vehicles could be owned or leased by individual customers, including those outside of large cities, and used in peer-to-peer car sharing applications, said Mike Abelson, GM\u2019s vice president of global strategy.<\/p>\n

GM is \u201cthinking about several models\u201d to drive revenue from self-driving cars, according to Abelson, speaking at Citi\u2019s Car of the Future conference in New York.<\/p>\n

Abelson, one of the key architects of GM\u2019s future transportation business, said self-driving cars used for ride sharing \u201care going to evolve quickly into purpose-built vehicles\u201d that do not look like conventional cars.<\/p>\n

While GM initially is using specially modified versions of the Chevrolet Bolt EV for its robotaxi fleet in 2019, the U.S. automaker\u2019s next wave of driverless vehicles will do away with the steering wheel and pedals, and could feature different seating arrangements.<\/p>\n

The design of the vehicles would be continually adjusted to provide customers with \u201ca more appealing experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Others have speculated that hoods could shorten, while passengers sit under a glass bubble.<\/p>\n

Early leaders in deploying self-driving cars, such as GM and Alphabet Inc\u2019s (GOOGL.O<\/a><\/span>) Waymo, \u201cwill have the opportunity to take a lead in new business models that will drive their companies\u2019 profitability,\u201d said John Hoffecker, vice chairman of consultants AlixPartners.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Abelson said GM believes personally owned self-driving vehicles \u201cwill be a big business in the future,\u201d especially in sparsely populated rural areas where ride sharing may not reach for years.<\/p>\n

GM\u2019s commercial ride sharing business is expected to drive down the cost of self-driving cars in the future, Abelson said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Affordability is seen as the biggest challenge in extending ownership of self-driving cars to individuals. But they might elect to put their vehicles into a peer-to-peer sharing service, such as those proposed by Tesla Inc (TSLA.O<\/a><\/span>) and GM, and share revenue with the companies that operate those services.<\/div>\n

Hoffecker said costs are \u201cgoing down dramatically,\u201d to the point where individuals should be able to buy self-driving cars by 2023-25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
