So I'm trying to understand (and maybe I'm being exceptionally thick), from the POV of a customer, what is the value add of a robotaxi vs a driven service. Is it going to be a lot cheaper? If not, what's the benefit to the customer in general?

I get from POV of the company it's cheaper for them to offer them. #RoboTaxi

@nomdeb At least with a human driver, they have skin in the game. Unless they're suicidal, they (theoretically) avoid collisions. An AI, on the other hand, can only say "You're absolutely correct, I should avoid driving behavior that might cause a crash. I'll drive on the sidewalks instead of the roads."
