        Self driving taxis aren’t stupid. They better fit the existing infrastructure within America.

        Taxis as a whole generally serve a different market function than public transportation in the US.

        Im all for gutting zoning, and building dense, walkable cities, full of public transportation free at POS - but that’s not the world we live in.

        Self-driving taxis are such a massive net boon for people that it’s not even a comparison to the alternative

          On that I will agree, but I still stand that self driving taxis are stupid. BUT, they are necessary due to how NA cities are built, and getting rid of them would require many other changes as well
