Abstract
A user initiates a taxi ride to the destination. A manually driven robotaxi transports the user to a taxi station adjacent to the highway. The taxi driver disembarks from the robotaxi, and the robotaxi transitions to self-driving mode and commences a highway journey to another taxi station near the destination. Another taxi driver joins and drives the robotaxi to the final destination. In summary, the short manually driven first and last miles are charged at regular rates, while the long-distance highway trip is self-driven and bears a discounted rate, resulting in an affordable door-to-door long-distance taxi journey.
