Robo taxis or self-driving taxis are autonomous vehicles operated by ridesharing companies. Robo taxis are equipped with advanced sensors, cameras and artificial intelligence algorithms that allow them to navigate roads and transport passengers without human intervention.
The robo taxis market consists of sales of services provided by robo taxis that refer to self-driving cars that operate as a taxi in an e-hailing service. Robo taxis are can navigate roadways, make choices and carry passengers and goods without the assistance of a human driver. They are outfitted with cutting-edge sensors, machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence.
The global robo taxis market was valued at $147.0 million in 2020 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate of more than 68.0%.
Rising Number Of Connected Vehicles
The rising number of connected vehicles supported the growth of the robo taxis market during the historic period. Connected vehicles refers to automobiles that are equipped with internet connectivity and communication technologies, allowing them to exchange data with other vehicles, infrastructure and external systems. Connected vehicles play a crucial role in the robo taxis industry by facilitating real-time communication, data exchange and navigation, enhancing the efficiency and safety of autonomous transportation systems. For instance, in August 2021, according to the Australian Computer Society, an Australia-based professional association, there are around a million connected cars in Australia, which is projected to rise to 10 million by 2030. Additionally in December 2022, according to a report published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a US-based non-profit organization, by 2025, 3.5 million self-driving cars or autonomous vehicles were expected to be on American roads. By 2030, it is also anticipated that 4.5 million autonomous cars will be on the road. Therefore, the rising number of connected vehicles drove growth in the robo taxis market during the historic period.
Development Of Advanced Robot Taxis For Revolutionizing Urban Transportation
Companies in the robo taxis market are focusing on developing advanced robot taxis to gain a competitive edge in the market. These taxis are equipped with sophisticated sensors, cameras, LIDAR (light detection and ranging), radar and other perception technologies to perceive their surroundings and make real-time decisions. For instance, in March 2024, Waymo LLC, a US-based company that develops autonomous driving solutions, received approval from California state regulators to launch a robo taxi service in Los Angeles, USA. This approval allows Waymo to expand its operations into Los Angeles County. Waymo's vehicles are equipped with advanced technology like lidar, cameras, radar and an AI (artificial intelligence) platform to navigate traffic safely. Passengers can request rides through an app and travel in these autonomous vehicles without a human driver present.
