Wrong. The problem right now is low utilisation of cars. Most cars just sit around 90-95% of the day. A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation, therefore fewer cars are needed overall.
You could call this "hope".
Or "wet dream".
Are you familiar with the concept of a taxi? Do you really think a taxi does not make more trips per day than a privately owned car?
I think that this depends heavily on the success of that enterprise.
I am pretty sure that they start (when / if they start) with a very high number of vehicles in a city.
