RoboTaxi Market Report 2026

The robotaxi market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $3.49 billion in 2025 to $5.5 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to pilot deployments of autonomous ride-hailing services, advancements in autonomous driving software, growth of electric vehicle platforms, increasing urban mobility challenges, investments in smart city projects.

The robotaxi market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to scaling of commercial robotaxi services, rising consumer acceptance of autonomous mobility, expansion of smart urban infrastructure, growing demand for shared autonomous transport, increasing regulatory clarity for driverless taxis. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of geo-fenced autonomous ride services, increasing integration of ai-based passenger management systems, growing adoption of electric robotaxi fleets, rising focus on urban autonomous mobility, enhanced safety validation and redundancy systems.

The increasing challenge of traffic congestion is expected to drive the growth of the robotaxi market in the coming years. Traffic congestion occurs when traffic demand exceeds available road capacity and is often caused by factors such as high vehicle volumes, insufficient road infrastructure, inefficient traffic management, and disruptions from accidents or construction activities. Robotaxis can help mitigate traffic congestion by offering on-demand mobility services, optimizing routing through data-driven navigation, and reducing reliance on privately owned vehicles, thereby improving traffic flow and lowering congestion levels. For instance, in January 2023, according to the Federal Highway Administration, a US-based government agency, travel on all roads and streets increased by 5.6% (an additional 13.2 billion vehicle miles) compared to January 2022, reaching an estimated 247.3 billion vehicle miles for the month. Seasonally adjusted vehicle miles traveled in January 2023 totaled 272.5 billion miles, reflecting a 4.5% increase over January 2022 and a 3.1% rise from December 2022. Therefore, the growing issue of traffic congestion is driving the growth of the robotaxi market.

Major companies operating in the robotaxi market are focusing on the development of advanced solutions such as modular autonomous driving platforms to enable scalable and flexible deployments across diverse urban environments. Modular autonomous driving platforms allow seamless integration of sensors, computing units, and software modules with scenario-specific tuning, while supporting ride-hailing functions such as routing and fleet management. For example, in November 2025, WeRide Holdings Limited, a China-based autonomous mobility company, in collaboration with Uber, a US-based technology company, launched fully driverless robotaxi trial operations in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The deployment utilized a Level 4 autonomous vehicle platform capable of operating without a safety driver and was integrated into the Uber ride-hailing application, allowing users to request driverless rides through standard categories such as UberX and Uber Comfort or via a dedicated autonomous option. The platform also supports autonomous driving solutions for commercial fleets and shuttle services through its modular hardware and software architecture designed for safety and real-time decision-making.

In August 2023, Toyota Motor Corporation, a Japan-based automobile manufacturer, partnered with Pony.ai to advance the commercial application of high-level autonomous driving technologies and support the mass production of robotaxis. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to accelerate the deployment of autonomous mobility solutions by combining Toyota’s vehicle engineering expertise with Pony.ai’s autonomous driving technology. Pony.ai is a US-based autonomous vehicle technology startup that develops and operates robotaxi services.
