[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5489077, member: 5053"] You don't understand how good these things are, and will be. These vehicles will last millions of miles with minimal maintenance. Tires and wipers, and rinse and repeat for millions of miles. They will absolutely be cheaper to use as a taxi than to own yourself. Makers will make massive profits at a dime a mile. The fleet will easily be big enough to accommodate any of those needs, because the number of cars on the road won't change. I literally mean some companies will redirect their entire production and not sell any cars to individuals at all. Imagine the entire productive capacity of Toyota, and no individual sales. 100% going to taxis. If many cars only work a few hours a day because that's where demand is centered, it matters none at all. They'll put them on the road. It costs so little that they still make more. Take the current number of taxis. We are talking about 5,000x more taxis than that. And all that can be built in a few years with redirected production. You better hope your silly minerals thesis holds water. Because this is going to happen. [/QUOTE]
