Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse::px-captcha

    I don’t understand how anyone ever thought they could reduce traffic. Even if they only served people who would otherwise have driven, a cab replacing an A to B and a C to D journey has to do three journeys to replace those two (A to B, B to C, and C to D). It was always going to increase traffic.

      Again I don’t know this “everyone”, I only heard about parking

        I didn’t mention “everyone”. I did mention “anyone”. The authors of the linked article explicitly say that they thought it would reduce traffic, and that they were wrong (but for reasons other than the downright obvious).
