Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

That's definitely what the term ride-share used to mean, but companies like Uber and Lyft call themselves ride-share services now when really it's just a taxi service where drivers use their own cars.
I don't think the drivers have any control over which direction their next fare will take them. I've never met a driver that wasn't driving either full or part-time as a second job.
