    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
