Robotaxis to disrupt the market
It may happen sooner rather than later A global call for safe, sustainable urban and suburban environments with fewer emissions, reduced traffic, and affordable mobility means that traditional public transport operations must be complemented with affordable on-demand services for door-to-door travel. Electric, shared, and autonomous vehicles (AVs), such as robotaxis, can be a feasible solution to mobility challenges in many urban and suburban areas, although there are uncertainties regarding when this market will take off and how large it will be. Speed of adoption for robotaxis and the substitute of privately owned cars depend on advancements in technology, regulations, incentives, and customer adoption. Our analysis predicts a positive outlook for robotaxis, with scalable commercial services from 2024 and mass-market adoption to follow.
