    No they wouldn’t. Once most cars are robotaxis, there will be drastically less space needed for car parks which will free up huge amounts of space. That can be used for bike lanes, so cycling becomes safer and more convenient. And I don’t expect most rides to be single occupancy. People will opt for shared rides if they are substantially cheaper, which would cut the number of vehicles on the road. Autonomous cars are actually the best chance we have right now to escape the car centric hellscapes of our current cities.

      Bus. That’s called a bus. It can also fit more than five people and doesn’t use as much energy to transport each person. You just reinvented a shittier bus

        Wrong. I invented a better bus. Well, i didn’t, none of this is new. A bus that goes straight to your destination with few or no stops. A bus that always tells you exactly when it’s going to arrive. A bus that can go to a lot of places a large bus can’t. And of course one that’s a lot quiet and cleaner. What exactly is your problem with that concept?
