Also their battery will barely last 200.000 if you don't properly use it and charge it.

The reason the robotaxis need to be privately owned is so that the owner can clean the car at least once a day. No doubt local car wash companies will set up procedures and accounts to clean robotaxis without a driver or owner present. I can see another company making and installing minibar refrigerator vending machines in robotaxis too. Passengers can use their Tesla app to pay for snacks and drinks from the minibar. Someone will need to replace the snacks/drinks.

You might be able to write off the car's depreciation but, if it becomes more valueable (than your initial purchase price) once it can be legally used as a taxi, it didn't depreciate.

6:30: the problem with that maths is that you are ignoring the additional running costs of using the car as a robotaxi. Tyres wear out, as do other parts of the car plus the car will depreciate in value dramatically as the mileage will be much higher than a non-taxi car. Yes, you could potentially use our car as a robotaxi for it to pay itself off, but it’s not as straightforward as you make out. Then there is the additional problem where you need to empty your car of all personal items each time. I know that in my car I have a bunch of things that always stay in it. Umbrellas, tissues, sunglasses, sanitiser, portable charger, hats, some emergency tools, the tire compressor/emergency flat tyre kit, etc. Last, who is going to be cleaning my car if it’s used in a fleet like that? Who pays for damage? (Eg someone in the car accidentally scratches the interior or seat?)

Yes, this certainly seems a possibility. But even the best Optimus robot would only be theoretically marginally better (using a brake, accelerator, steering wheel, and mirrors) than a human chauffeur or driver, unless the car was "smart" (like a Tesla) and the Optimus could "plug in" in order to gain surround cameras and internal computer access, make lightening fast driver control movements and decisions, etc. The robot would be relatively expensive too. (And you, not the fleet, would be the responsible insurer.) On the other hand, every boat or farm tractor, harvester, excavator, loader, etc. (certainly not older ones) comes with or needs a computer or an AI inference engine to run it. On the family farm, Optimus might come in really handy for a lot less money than farm hands or migrant workers, or even sons and daughters.
