Purposefully designed robotaxi can make the system of right and left-hand traffic unnecessary.
Robotaxi can move in any direction, turn without using the traditional intersection system with the agility of a pedestrian. This will change not only the street design system, but the entire urban dynamics in general. However, most robotaxi manufacturers, including Tesla, continue to replicate the shape of a traditional car.

Another example: affordable housing. If people can reliably predict travel times from home to work, the role of the large city as a "center of gravity" may shift. Currently (one of the factors), people settle based on transport accessibility and infrastructure. A fully automated traffic system could change these dynamics. Revitalized city blocks could become a "new suburb," turning downtowns exclusively into a business and cultural space - offices(?), theaters, and restaurants.
The fabric and meaning of cities will change dramatically and forever in the next 5-10 years. The main driver of these changes - in the literal and figurative sense of the word - will be robotaxis.
We offer Dubai a bold and large-scale idea. We propose to create not just a landmark for any district; we propose to design a district that will serve as a landmark for the very concept of "smart city." And Dubai itself may become the first city in human history with a fully automated traffic system.
It is necessary to choose a visual aid that is appropriate for the topic and audience.

Imagine streets without noise pollution. A robotaxi doesn't need a horn to signal other robotaxis.
Imagine streets without light pollution. A robotaxi doesn't need a traditional light system to signal other robotaxis.
Imagine safe streets where the most unpredictable factor—humans—is removed from the driving equation.
Imagine streets with wider sidewalks, where instead of rows of parked dead metal, there are rows of greenery - the natural healing power of nature! No traffic jams, no time or money spent on maintenance. Robotaxis operate 24/7/365 and are parked and serviced in specially built centers.

We imagine it vividly and clearly.
It doesn't matter what kind of autopilot your fancy Lucid or Tesla has - you leave it outside the area and transfer to a specially designed vehicle and have a leisurely cruise along a specially designed street.
