A robotaxi ride in China is already down to about 25 cents per mile in some cities — less than a third of what a human-driven Uber costs in most Western markets. And the cars never sleep, never take breaks, and never surge-price on Friday night.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg alt=\"\" class=\"image-align-right\" height=\"447\" src=\"https://quasa.io/storage/photos/00/image - 2025-11-17T211927.601.jpg\" width=\"300\" />For now, human drivers are still cheaper in many places than the current generation of lidar-heavy robotaxis. That gap is closing fast. Tesla, Zoox, Cruise, Aurora, and a dozen Chinese players are all racing to flood the market with sub-$40,000 autonomous vehicles by 2030.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/indian-taxi-drivers-train-neural-networks-in-their-spare-time-uber-s-bold-new-side-hustle\">Uber\u003C/a> itself no longer builds its own self-driving cars — it sold that division years ago — but it has deep partnerships with Waymo, Nvidia, and others. The company is positioning itself as the “operating system” for whatever robotaxi wins, the same way Android powers phones built by dozens of manufacturers.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>That’s great for Uber’s balance sheet. It’s potentially catastrophic for the millions of people who currently make a living (or at least supplement their income) behind the wheel.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Khosrowshahi has floated ideas like retraining drivers for remote fleet monitoring, data labeling, or vehicle maintenance, but those jobs won’t come close to replacing the volume of lost driving work. Some cities are already experimenting with small-scale universal basic income pilots for gig workers; others are talking about taxing robotaxi miles to fund transition
