Robotaxis may reduce our need for parking, opening space for greener, more livable cities. Yet, they could increase traffic with empty rides. Let's embrace this flexibility, maybe favoring bicycles for shorter trips.

Owning a vehicle is the norm in today's paradigm, but it's a costly and rigid practice. The shift away from ownership promises to disrupt this, fundamentally changing our interaction with personal transport.

History reminds us: Paradigm shifts reshape society. The early 20th Century’s move from steam to oil and internal combustion engines was revolutionary. We're on the brink of another such shift with robotaxis.

But even if we stick to line services, the improvements we can achieve with the components that are currently developed by the Boring Company and Tesla are huge.

So yeah, we can discuss the viability of line services. We can also discuss the opportunities to make them better

My personal opinion would be that sorting individual passengers with a good signage system while walking through a station is a lot more efficient than doing so with humongous traffic junctions. That's why I still believe in the "Underground" solution.

Take the internet for comparison: glass fiber is the easy part. The critical component that makes the system work are the routers. A lot of complexity has been solved in creating efficient routers, that's what makes the internet such a great system.

...whether you do the "sorting" with individual passengers on stations, or you do it with passengers encapsulated in their vehicles, you will need provisions for that.

The challenge of a "car" system is not in the lanes, it's in the intersections and the junctions.
