Operations
How can I prepare my taxi business for robotaxis?
Editorial team: Robotaxi Connect · Sources last reviewed:
Start with operating data and workflows. A clear service area and cost baseline are more useful than an early vehicle order.
Information to gather now
Our recommendation: collect typical routes, demand by time, paid and empty mileage, passenger needs, downtime and parking and charging capacity. Use aggregated figures rather than personal passenger data for initial provider discussions.
People remain part of operations
Section 1f StVG assigns duties to owners and technical supervisors. In practice, also define responsibilities for cleaning, customer support, maintenance and incidents. Set measurable availability, service and cost targets before a limited pilot. This is our planning advice, not a promise of an available pilot programme.
Your next steps
- Define a specific service profile.
- Assess the site, people and infrastructure.
- Agree pilot targets and stopping criteria.
