... in order to free up production capacity for the Cybercab.

Hah, feels like when someone says they're going to stop dating the unemployed slob to focus on dating the alcoholic.

A taxi with only 2 doors, what an improvement!

You meant maximum? Though minimum would be fun, too: taxi won’t start unless you agree to socialize and chat with a random stranger. As soon as silence is detected it pulls over and the ride ends.

Minimum to qualify as "people" rather than "person".

Ah yes. That makes sense now. But I guess the minimum of people for taxis would be one in general. A small taxi for one person is plausible. Zero won’t work as it would be a delivery vehicle only then.

90% of taxi rides are 1 person 95% 2 so its based on, you know, business intelligence rather than your hot take which is anti Elon rhetoric like most of this thread or any for that matter here (keep thinking this is reddit)

Without a steering wheel which guarantees it won't be road legal in most countries anytime soon.

The Zeekr with sliding doors that Waymo is using seems like a way better concept for a robotaxi. Still fits in a standard parking space but can carry a group at need without being terribly inefficient for a single person.

How many billions do your close friends and family have?

Seems like that might have something to do with it.
