A city with a few hundred robotaxis is cool and futuristic, but with 100,000+ it'll be gridlocked and dangerous.
All the more reason for local leaders to adopt congestion pricing and automatic traffic enforcement ASAP.

Of course my mistake was wanting to travel in the E-W direction in a suburb where trams turn up every 5 minutes but only in the N-S direction. Bear this in mind whenever you hear Melbourne’s tram suburbs described as ‘public transport rich’ and wonder why they still have traffic problems.
