The roads will be so gridlocked no one will drive on them anymore /s.
Seriously though there are ways of reducing traffic on the roads like increased registration taxes, raising the price of tolls, gas price hikes (or equivalent dc fast charging price hikes). Gridlock won’t be a problem.
DC fast charging price hikes will be especially effective at reducing robotaxi usage as unlike privately owned EVs, robotaxis will primarily rely on fast charging.
Also don’t forget about how much traffic flow will improve because self driving cars don’t get impatient and tailgate.
