Add to that that the “outdated assumption” says “a single vehicle needs to do both the moving and the accommodation of the user”. Perhaps a personal car can be said to “accommodate” people, but if you only want the engine, there’s already e-scooters. The whole point of robotaxi is to reduce the number of vehicles needed by making their utilization more efficient (by sharing them). Why should we have those inefficient personal wagons lying around? Why not have houses for “accommodation” and robotaxis for “moving” the people?
