  • Impact of Robotaxis and Robotrucks Three billion robotaxis and robotrucks make transportation 10 times cheaper and 2-3 times faster. Transportation costs currently account for about 10% of global GDP ($10 trillion). Reducing this by a factor of 10 saves: 10
  • trillion
  • (1
  • 110) = 9
  • trillion dollars

The article from NextBigFuture discusses the potential economic impact of widespread adoption of humanoid robots and robotaxis by the 2040s. It suggests that if humanoid robots become as ubiquitous as smartphones, with billions in use, and if robotaxis dominate urban transportation, the global economy could expand dramatically. The author, Brian Wang, posits that these technologies could lead to a quadrillion-dollar economy, driven by increased productivity, new services, and the integration of AI into daily life. The article highlights the transformative effects on labor markets, urban planning, and economic structures, predicting that these robots could perform a vast array of tasks from caregiving to manufacturing, thereby reshaping industries and potentially leading to an era of unprecedented economic growth.
