Driverless cars may not replace personal vehicles
A leading expert in self-driving cars suggests that personal vehicle ownership will persist despite the rise of ride-hailing services. The expert believes that commercially owned fleets of robotaxis will be more efficient, and hybrid networks with both robotaxis and human-driven taxis will emerge. This could lead to increased adoption of ride-hailing, particularly in major cities, and reduced personal car ownership.
