…ride sharing, what's the difference between autonomous shuttles and robotaxis? Harrington: We're finding the right balance between cost and convenience. There are differences in vehicle miles traveled, congestion, and emissions. Many passengers don't have the financial ability for unlimited ride hailing. One difference between AV shuttles and robotaxis is pooling. You can do on-demand rides with some degree of pooling, which is still more convenient than fixed-route mass transit and lower cost than ride hailing, which is important for underserved communities. Klein: It's a long race, and there will be lots of winners: potentially some form of vehicle miles travel…
