I don’t think they’ve been desperate to launch here. NYC is the least car-friendly city in North America — for many it’s a badge of honour not to need a car, and the city just enacted congestion charging.

The thing is there is any number of cities that would happily roll out the red carpet for a company like Waymo. Waymo wants the Big Apple, in spite of the political resistance.
Otherwise I agree, I think robotaxis would most benefit people living in sprawling car dependant areas with poor transit, where driving is currently the only viable option for getting around.
