> I expect the number of cars on the road to go way up

This sounds horrific for those of us who live in cities that are already overrun with cars.

The problem with the US transportation-wise is its low population density. One possible solution could be to have robotaxis take care of last mile transportation, and have reliable and punctual mass transport take care of the bulk of the commutes.

Another possible solution is to increase population density, for example by eliminating bans on higher-density development.

We don't need robotaxis for that. Just put giant parking lots at subway stations.
