The Robotaxi Truth

Technology was meant to help us—to make our lives easier, safer, more connected. Instead, billionaires are using it to eliminate jobs and concentrate wealth.

The Broken Promise

The original promise of technology was liberation: fewer hours working, more time with family, shared prosperity. What we got instead was surveillance, algorithmic control, and the steady erosion of worker power.

Rideshare apps track every move, measure every second, and optimize for corporate profit—not driver wellbeing. The algorithm doesn't care if you're tired, sick, or desperate. It only cares about efficiency.

The Real Numbers Behind Robotaxis

Big tech companies promise that self-driving cars will make transportation safer and cheaper. But let's look at what's really happening:

When Waymo, Cruise, or Tesla deploys robotaxis in your city, they're not creating jobs—they're eliminating them. Every autonomous vehicle on the road represents a human driver who no longer earns a living. The profits don't go to workers or communities; they flow directly to Silicon Valley shareholders.

What They Don't Tell You

• Safety records are questionable: Despite billions in investment, robotaxis still struggle with basic scenarios—construction zones, bad weather, unexpected pedestrians.
• They require human backup: Many "autonomous" vehicles have remote operators ready to take control. That's not true autonomy—it's hidden labor.
• Communities lose control: When a tech giant operates your transportation, your city loses the ability to regulate fares, routes, and service quality.
• No local investment: Human drivers spend their earnings locally—on rent, groceries, their kids' schools. Robot profits leave town immediately.

"The question isn't whether robots can drive. It's whether we want a world where robots have jobs and people don't."

A Better Path Forward

Technology should augment human work, not replace it. At PaYnGO, we believe drivers deserve tools that make their jobs easier and safer—not algorithms designed to eventually eliminate them.

We're building technology that serves people: real-time safety features, fair pay calculations, and community-first policies. Because the future of transportation should include the humans who make it possible.
