Most people still don’t want anything to do with robotaxis
A recent poll found that most US consumers remain skeptical about robotaxis, with 53% saying they wouldn't ride in one. Even assurances about safety and reduced pricing didn't significantly change people's opinions.
A recent poll of 2,081 US consumers found that 53% wouldn't ride in a robotaxi, and 26% aren't considering it. Even when told to assume the technology is '100 percent safe', 42% still wouldn't consider using one. Only 12% preferred a '100 percent safe' robotaxi over a human-driven taxi. A $5 discount on the robotaxi option only slightly increased its appeal. One in three respondents said no amount of money would cause them to take a robotaxi ride. The poll's findings are consistent with previous public opinion polls showing declining support for autonomous vehicles.
