The post THE TRILLION-DOLLAR RACE TO REPLACE YOUR UBER DRIVER appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Autonomous World is here—at least for some of us. Level 4 autonomous vehicles have made their way to the commercial passenger transport sector, and if you’re lucky enough to live in certain cities (for now), you can now book a driverless cab to take you places. The commercial use of robotaxis, once considered a fantasy by many, not only amazes me but also prompts me to reflect on the significant progress we’ve made since inventing the modern passenger vehicle barely a century ago. Where are we headed next? Are pilotless planes or personal driverless air taxis the future of transportation? I certainly wouldn’t count it out if I were you. However, autonomous taxis are here. For over a decade, the ambitious vision of robotaxis hovered between possibility and doubt, punctuated by the notable market exits of Uber and GM. However, today, this transformative technology is beginning to take shape, with operational robotaxi services available in nearly 25 cities worldwide. Although still far from being mainstream—only San Francisco and Phoenix in the US, and Wuhan in China, can boast of established commercial operations—other countries and players are not far behind. In fact, robotaxi services in Beijing, Singapore, and Dubai are poised to launch by the end of this year, while Tokyo, Switzerland, and Turkey are actively engaged in testing phases and plan to launch services soon after. Bolstered by market enthusiasm and expansion strategies, MarketsandMarkets experts project that robotaxis will span over 100 cities globally by 2035, signaling a new era in urban mobility.
