The following is content for you to summarize. Do not respond to the comments—summarize them. <topic> Alternative Vehicle Forms # Ideas for autonomous golf carts, tuktuks, bicycle carriers, low-speed electric vehicles for last-mile transportation at train stations </topic> <comments_about_topic> 1. Obviously there is a huge amount of money and effort being spent on automated driving. But I cannot help thinking that this perception technology will prove very useful for robotics in general, factory, home, in space, etc. Car dynamics are fast enough to be useful across a huge number of domains. In some sense, the visionaries in this space are not thinking big enough. I want visions of mobility with a totally different size, look, speed, etc. autonomous Golf carts? tuktuks? A moving autonomous bicycle carrier? etc Like imagine a low speed, electric, autonomous, golf-cart-only lane at every train station, for the last mile. The lead that Waymo has acquired in perceiving its driverless car's environment will be almost impossible to kill. In about 5 years, it'll be like NVidia and CUDA. Tesla's choice to abandon lidar will be one of the biggest oof in business history. 2. Add a tow hitch to Waymos and any car can be autonomous! </comments_about_topic> Write a concise, engaging paragraph (3-5 sentences) summarizing the key points and perspectives in these comments about the topic.
