I considered fleet change as the transformation that eliminates driving as a needed skill . Getting a slightly better version of Waymo in SF is just augmenting for a poor public transit with a very American car solution . It scales pretty poorly and cannot replace good public transit, at best can augment them as last mile connectivity . There is value to those of course and is disruptive to a sector, it is still a specific use case and not world changing. You are only disrupting the taxi industry not driving itself . The claims at the time was not we are going replace taxis with robotaxis , but driving itself will be a thing of the past. That is the nature of hype cycles .
