Interesting and very ambitious.
We have recent data that show there’s definitely satisfaction in riding in a robotaxi amongst those who have, as well as strong consideration for riding in one amongst those who have NOT yet…but interest in buying a robotaxi for a consumer to own remains pretty low.
Cathie Wood predicts robotaxis "are going to destroy the auto market." I doubt it.
Surveys show that most people want to own an AV, not hail rides through a fleet. That makes sense: A robotaxi can't store your stuff for a few days or reinforce your identity with its design/color/stickers/etc.
