Exactly, the scenario of everybody using a robotaxi should be compared to the scenario of everybody using taxis but not because of the requirements for obtaining a license. Instead I expect taxi drivers to drive safely because 1) their customers would report them if they drive dangerously and 2) crashes would prevent them from working and cost them the income of several days or worse.
- fragmede 2y agoTaxi drivers are incentivized to drive as wrecklessly as possible (with a w). Safety is not their top priority, making money is.
- pmontra 2y agoIf they crash they don't make money. I don't live in the USA and I remember that taxi drivers were very fast when I was young. They are among the slowest drivers now.
