With companies like Uber, Tesla, and Waymo all investing in autonomous rideshare cars, it’s getting more likely that these vehicles will be available in your city sooner rather than later. The question, though, is whether you feel safe in one.

CEO Elon Musk’s recent foray into government work within the Trump administration has had a negative impact on the Tesla brand, but it remains to be seen how much it will impact the company’s bottom line moving forward.

The 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid has a fuel economy of 50-54 miles per gallon and starts at just under $22,000 new. Meanwhile, the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hybrid gets 44-50 miles per gallon and starts at just under $25,000.

The 2025 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is a high-end, gas-powered car starting just above $200,000, with tons of space and the luxury bona fides of the most top-tier brands. Meanwhile, the new BMW i7 is an EV that starts just above $100,000, with a max range of 321 miles and more cargo space than the S-Class.

As electric vehicle adoption continues to rise, the prices of these vehicles should continue to decline. Until then, government incentives help lower the initial cost so you can make the switch that is better in the long-run financially and environmentally.

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a range of between 240 and 342 miles, depending on the trim, and starts at around $39,000. Meanwhile, the 2025 Audi A3 has a combined 28 miles per gallon and starts at roughly the same price.
