Robotaxis aren't just replacing human drivers—they're rewriting the rules entirely. Unlike traditional cabs, these autonomous fleets will operate under totally different constraints: no need for parking lots near city centers, optimized routes based on real-time data algorithms, 24/7 availability without labor restrictions. The ripple effects? Urban planning will shift dramatically. Expect fewer parking structures, narrower roads, repurposed spaces where garages once stood. Cities might prioritize dedicated lanes for autonomous vehicles, fundamentally altering how we design metropolitan infrastructure. It's not just about transportation anymore—it's about reimagining the entire urban fabric.

Bro, this analysis is a bit idealistic... In reality, how fast can urban planning reforms happen? The parking lot issue here in China is really a stubborn problem; robotaxis won't help much.

Ngl, robotaxis sound great, but has urban planning really been thought through... the disappearance of parking lots feels like just a superficial issue.

ngl the real play here is the capital reallocation angle nobody's talking about. all that parking lot real estate? massive basis point arbitrage for smart money. watch the liquidity depth in urban development funds spike once this thesis validates
