Also electric vs gas has nothing to do with robotaxis.
robotaxis need a lot of electronics/computing and so a large battery. A hybrid can charge that battery, but it is close to 50c/kwh electricity cost. V2G is a more obvious near term game changer. Can pay for cost of car over lifetime, or at least provide negative fuel costs. At any rate, an EV robotaxi will outcompete an ICE one. It also has the advantage of driving to a charging station during any downtime.
That's a fair point, the integrated battery does make managing the equipment easier.
