This sounds ludicrous. Their own projections are saying that the value of the companies doing robotaxis are going to be worth 20x as much as the companies making the actual cars. It doesn’t even make logical sense. This for an industry that doesn’t even exist today outside of a few limited players like Waymo.

To put it bluntly they’re predicting a whole new industry will be launched on the global stage that within 6 years will be bigger than Apple, Microsoft, NVidia, Google, Amazon, and Meta combined.

The projection seems pretty ludicrous by most all accounts I can think of but that's not what they project about companies doing robotaxis, they close in saying they see auto manufacturers will either consolidate into, partner with, or be a robotaxi company.
