Because self-driving rides are expected to be cheaper and more convenient than traditional taxis, more people may choose them over walking, biking, or using public transportation. This shift would put more cars on already crowded roads. Another concern is “deadheading,” which refers to robotaxis traveling without passengers between rides.
