Robotaxi at 20-30 cents per mile could make parking garages obsolete within 10-15 years

A viral thread argues robotaxis will gradually displace private car ownership over the next 10-15 years, turning parking garages into robotaxi washing and charging infrastructure. Fines, insurance, road taxes and home garages would fade away. Cost math: US private car 70 cents/mile, human taxi 200+ cents, robotaxi 20-30 cents. Context: Tesla won San Antonio rezoning approval for a 1-acre Robotaxi parking and dispatch site near the airport.
