Berkeley study finds self-driving electric taxi fleets in Manhattan would deliver significant cost and environmental benefits

Green Car Congress

Using models they built and data from more than 10 million taxi trips in New York City, they found that the cost of service provided by a fleet of shared automated electric vehicles (SAEVs) would be $0.29-$0.61 per revenue mile—an order of magnitude lower than the cost of service of present-day Manhattan taxis and $0.05–$0.08/mi
