Suburbs and commuter towns desperately need Robotaxi - there’s literally no other option. Public transit isn’t coming, Waymo isn’t coming, Uber and Lyft are shrinking

Even a US city of 100,000 people, it can be really tough or impossible to get an Uber - good luck getting a ride from the airport at 12:30 in the morning

Why do you say Waymo isn't coming? Waymo is already available in the suburbs of LA, and it seems clear that Waymo will be expanding to any US metro area that doesn't put roadblocks in their way.

How many people in a city of 100,000 are getting rides from the airport at 12:30 in the morning ?
