Robotaxis are going to gut rideshare and nobody's talking about it

Cool so now the car doesn't tip either.

Eh, scaling to every city is way harder than people think. Sensors and mapping cost a fortune per market.

Yeah SF and Phoenix numbers already show this. Ride volume keeps climbing every quarter for Waymo specifically.

True but they're not slowing down expansion either, new metro every few months now.

Rideshare drivers already got squeezed by gig economy pay cuts, this is just phase two honestly.

Fair, but at least rideshare drivers still get tips and some flexibility. Robotaxi passengers don't get that human element lol.
