    Wrong. The problem right now is low utilisation of cars. Most cars just sit around 90-95% of the day. A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation, therefore fewer cars are needed overall.

        Are you familiar with the concept of a taxi? Do you really think a taxi does not make more trips per day than a privately owned car?

          I think that this depends heavily on the success of that enterprise.

          I am pretty sure that they start (when / if they start) with a very high number of vehicles in a city.
