What on Earth will you use as a justification for that? We pay taxes for roads, for fuel, and for the cars themselves. The last thing we need is more.

One argument would be that a driver in a cab will pay tax, a robot taxi will pay a lot less. That is quite a lot of money that is funneled to private companies instead of being used to improve our infrastructure.
Should we put 2 drivers in each cab so that more taxes will be paid?
roads are functionally subsidized by non-motorists
But non-motorists still benefit from roads.
