Cities around the world are testing robotaxis, hoping that autonomous vehicles will ease traffic and reduce emissions. However, recent analyses suggest these expectations may be overly optimistic. According to consulting firm Kearney, robotaxis could actually make congestion worse rather than better. 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.
