    Self-driving taxis :cringe:

    The elderly and disabled people gotta move around somehow.

      Self-driving car technology still isn't practical and deploying them effectively would require designing your entire road infrastructure around them, at the cost of pedestrians and public transit.

      Anyways, if you need help being driven around, then you might as well have human-driven cars/shuttles since you'd likely need help (or at least the option of help) embarking and disembarking.

        Sure, but they might be a thing in a decade or two and building infrastructure without looking and planning ahead is just negligent.

            That runs more frequently at lighter capacity.

            Some engineers have an idea and want to run with it. Have a bit of faith in the state to try new things.
