A robotaxi is an autonomous, self-driving vehicle that provides on-demand ride-hailing services without a human driver, typically booked through an app. Using advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, cameras, radar, and LiDAR technology, robotaxis safely navigate city streets, transporting passengers to their destinations efficiently. These electric or hybrid vehicles are poised to transform urban transportation by reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and offering an affordable alternative to traditional taxis and personal cars. Major cities worldwide are testing and deploying robotaxis, signaling a significant shift towards automated, sustainable, and accessible public mobility
