My simple mind can't understand what's the advantage of having a two seater vs four or five seater. Any insights?

They can use “we’re working on the chassis” as an excuse for why it’s not ready yet.

With autonomy you do not need a one-fit-all vehicle that support many different use cases.

Instead you have access to a fleet of specialized vehicles that are optimized for different tasks. Eg many trips might still be with only one or two passangers, and then a small two seater makes a lot of sense. If you need larger capacity you simple order a ride from a suitable vehicle class.

That vast majority of car trips is for one person. Most of the others are for two.

So building it without dead weight that will almost never be used makes sense.

If you're a bigger party, there will probably be bigger robotaxis to summon. Or take two cars.
