| Popis: | 105 Car autonomous technology may increase user groups of buying cars and using ride-sharing services provided by a Transportation Network Company (TNC). Therefore, in this thesis, we propose a stylized spatial model to study how the competition between TNC and autonomous car manufacturers is affected by autonomous level, number of car manufacturers and market coverage of TNC. Our analysis shows that TNC’s profit increases with autonomous level only when autonomous level is high enough. Also, when consumers with medium valuation for autonomous level prefer using ride-sharing services to buying cars, the total number of cars sold decreases with autonomous level. Finally, TNC’s partial coverage strategy can create a win-win situation for TNC and car manufacturers when the market coverage is high enough. |
