You must be taking different Bay Area transit than me (not that Bay area roads aren't hellish). Other than peak commute times cars are far faster to pretty everywhere BART serves outside of SF proper, and obviously much faster to anyplace BART doesn't.
The aforementioned Dublin > mission BART route is only about parity with driving for a 9:00am arrival in SF, and much slower after[0]. To say nothing of the obvious choke point that is the bay bridge, which would be well served by either an expansion or a hybrid approach. Robotaxi to west Oakland, hope on a bart, pick up a new robotaxi in SF to get to e.g. the sunset, or other not-bart served location.
