Robotaxi services are being developed and launched in various locations, with companies such as Uber and Waymo involved in the efforts. The services are expected to be introduced in several cities, including Houston, Los Angeles, and Madrid, although the timeline and specifics of the launches are not uniform. However, the rollout of robotaxi services may be affected by regulatory issues, as seen in New York and China, where permits have been put on hold or suspended due to concerns and incidents.
