Fewer human resources, certainly.
But humans are very flexible. In the containerised shipping world that doesn't add huge value, but for a taxi some flexibility is a value-add, be it changing your mind about your destination or falling ill suddenly (when you probably can't just log in and change your destination) are examples of when people are well served by human operators.
Self automation has to become cheap enough that the premium of having people drive is worth losing compared to the price difference. It isn't enough to just have tje technology at a level it can serve.
