Robotaxis could potentially help traffic by being smaller than current cars. The vast majority of journeys shouldn't require anything bigger than a Renault Twizy.
On the one hand, you are right. On the other hand, will the consumers of robotaxis want to use small cars or will they push for full size ones?
Don't give them an option....
