      If it works. Don’t Teslas still have problems in his stupidass underground Vegas loop? And that’s pretty much as ideal driving conditions as you can get.

      Looks more like the number of cars will stay the same-ish, but now there won’t be a taxi driver making a living of it.

        Wrong. The problem right now is low utilisation of cars. Most cars just sit around 90-95% of the day. A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation, therefore fewer cars are needed overall.

            Are you familiar with the concept of a taxi? Do you really think a taxi does not make more trips per day than a privately owned car?

              I think that this depends heavily on the success of that enterprise.

              I am pretty sure that they start (when / if they start) with a very high number of vehicles in a city.
