ARK analyst: marginal robotaxi rides could destabilize Uber driver network
skorusARK · x · 2026-10-22
ARK's skorusARK suggests skeptics drive Uber in Austin for a few months to watch pay-per-hour shift as robotaxis scale. His take: even eating marginal rides could destabilize the network. Stabilizing loop: drivers quit, remaining drivers get more rides and hourly pay recovers. Destabilizing loop: fewer idle cars mean longer pickups, pushing riders to AVs and costing drivers more rides.
