Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse
It’s almost as if robotaxis are solving the problem in a way that they can make money off of, not trying to be an actual solution.<p>Why would investors do that?<p>Oh right.<p>Robotaxis are just an attempt to do Uber without having to pay drivers. They’re not an attempt at fixing congestion. Or safety (though I’m sure they claim it). Or bad public transit.<p>They’re aiming for the local maxima. “Fix” taxis&#x2F;Uber <i>as they exist today</i> and make money doing it.<p>Similar technology could make self driving busses to provide more&#x2F;adaptive routes.<p>Nah.
