Anything but trains, subways, trams, or buses?
Tech won't solve traffic, proper investment into public transportation will. Investment in these startups should be funneled into self driving public transportation.
They literally have the largest high speed rail network in the world

Did you even open your own link that a taxi in Japan lmao.
Yes, I watched the video the other day.

VW doesn't operate. They rather sell the cars that they build. So what's your problem with that?
The cars they sell are operational, champ.
Those cars also do not have L4 autonomy.

The only one who sells L4 to real people currently is Mercedes.

They're working on it, but it's not complete. Try again.

But holy shit a marvel of marketing. Better be a case study in business school. They had little to no actual implementation for years and years but are still the go-to name for autonomous driving and selling subscriptions to something that doesn't exist. Absolutely wild.
Not really. Look up Ford Bluecruise. Difference is, Ford wasn't out there for years promising to have it all perfected in an unreasonably short timeframe. They just quietly worked on it until they felt it was ready. THEN they announced it.

Tesla's robotaxi debut in Austin got people excited. But can the company compete on the global stage with Chinese AV giants like Baidu and Pony.ai?
Long live the Communist Party of China, comrades!

Heavily underutilized for now.
China has a birthrate of 1.15 children per woman. When is this later time you allude to when there will be more people to utilize the heavily underutilized network?
690 million women in China, let's say 30% are in age to give birth, that's 207 million. If only 50% of those actually give birth in the next 5 years, that's a whooping 47.6 million kids per year.
Yeah, that population will climb, just not overnight.

China's birthrate is 1.15 children per woman. Replacement birthrate is 2.1 children per woman.
If each woman is having less than 2.1 children, the population falls.

It could.
Imagine 80% autonomous vehicle traffic, 30% of that is multipassenger capable taxi service. Autonomous vehicle lanes moving reliably at 75mph. With this amount of taxi service the advantages of personal vehicle ownership falls and the wait time for an available pickup diminishes rapidly.China has many areas with pretty good public transportation. In the US, tech advances and legislation changes to enable the above model is better suited to the existing infrastructure.
