5:30 PM in Seattle on a weekday is peak traffic, 1 in 5 daily use vehicles are on the road.
So in a hypothetical wherein Robotaxis have acheived full penetration, maybe we'll need 1/3 of the vehicles we use today.
There would likely be a lot less steel in those vehicles as well, since they'd largely be optimized for single commuters, and would need less of the redundancies built into current cars for safety.
