> - What might be the economic and environmental ramifications of a world with ubiquitous “robotaxis”?

Personally when I hear people talking about a future where nobody owns a car because robotaxis have replaced them, it feels dystopian to me.

After all, when the government of X demands all travel records in their country be handed over to their secret police; or that the people on a 'watchlist' not be permitted to travel? The robotaxi company will have to conform to local laws.

What do you think car manufacturers have to do?
