So instead of penalizing unsafe drivers, we'll penalize all drivers by replacing them with robots?

I'm actually a Waymo fan but this particular argument doesn't really hold water.

Wait, how is offering driver less cabs penalizing all drivers?

The only motivation I see that drives self-driving taxi development is reduced labor costs. But that isn't different than what has happened since the industrial revolution.
