[Li Bin of NIO said that he would never make driverless taxis: the value of autonomous driving is not to "kill" online car-hailing drivers]Li Bin believes that the value of intelligent driving is to reduce accidents, not to take away the jobs of private car drivers and taxi drivers. "We are determined not to make driverless taxis. We believe that 'liberating energy and reducing accidents' is the real social value created by intelligent driving." Li Bin believes that technology should be used to improve the user experience of the car, and intelligent driving should be to provide users who buy cars with a part-time "driver". "Therefore, driverless taxis cannot solve the problem of traffic volume. Whether it is driven by people or not, the number of operating vehicles that a city can accommodate is limited. This amount makes driverless taxis not a borderless and scalable business like software and cloud services." Li Bin added that if car companies have excess production capacity and produce a large number of driverless taxis, if there are no restrictions, the roads will be filled with cars.

However, some analysts believe that with the popularization of Robotaxi, cars will truly be "shared". At this stage, ordinary people may no longer need to buy cars separately, and the number of cars in the whole society is expected to decrease. At the same time, based on technologies such as "car-road-cloud", Robotaxi can also achieve better commuting efficiency through better route planning and car-cloud interaction. (Yicai Global)
