Today we buy cars for presentations of status, personal expression, enjoyment and “the worst case” I.e. family and kids all need to go somewhere at the same time.

“I’m a truck person”, “I’m a hybrid person”, “I’m outdoors-y”

Then we use it 95% of the time for single person use, to commute (not enjoy) with zero recognition of personal expression.

Even if people don’t share the robotaxis, they will be optimized for pragmatic use. Taxi sizes will scale with number of people (think enclosed, self driving motorcycles, etc).

In practice, I don't expect to see it. Economically, there's value in having whatever cars are closest to you be ones that fit your group. I expect that value will exceed the savings of a smaller car. I bet we'll see something like uber vs uber-xl, rather than something as granular as you're suggesting.
