A lot of people are assuming that replacing cars driven by minimum wage/sub-minimum wage drivers with high tech robotaxis will make this sort of transportation almost too cheap to meter. Long-term there's presumably some advantage espeically as costs drop to the level where an autonomous car is just a car. I'm not sure there's ever this magical transition where a car you use a few times a day (and is specific to your needs) is ever replaced by an on-demand service to a significantly greater degree than today.
