Those 1000 people don't have to be served by 1000 privately owned single occupancy vehicles. When they are inputting their destination before departure, a robo taxi can deliver 6-8 people with similar destinations door-to-door for a fraction of the cost of a private vehicle, the same comfort level, but occupy hardly more road space then 70-80 seat transit buses.
- moogly 7y agoThat's just public transport with a different name (and less efficiency). People want to ride alone.
- tooop 7y agoNo ride share is the same comfort level as private vehicle and it never will be.
- dmitriid 7y agoSo, those 1000 people have to: - somehow find other people "with similar destinations" - somehow synchronise the time they leave work - figure out who calls and pays for the robo-taxi How is that effecient? And, once again, that's just one office on a street of a dozen or so office buildings. Across is a building that houses 10 or so different companies. So I guess those people should also somehow group themselves across companies?
