The potentials for utility become endless.
Consider what this means for blind people, for all people who cannot drive for one reason or another. For people who need to spend their time more productively than driving.
It will be like having a 24/7 chauffeur who never gets tired, never gossips, never has family problems, and only costs a hundred dollars a month.
It will make cross country driving competitive with airline tickets. 24 hours to travel 1500 miles, arriving fresh, with all your gear and with a vehicle. Take off anytime, arrive with a full nights sleep and a full day’s work done online.
Do the robotaxis self dock to refuel?
People will do both, send the car ahead, robotaxi to airport and fly to destination experiencing little travel time, find your car at the arrival airport with all the luggage.
Plain flights become cheaper with minimal luggage, or doing cargo/mail transport on top of passenger rides.
