Note that even if robotaxis are easier, it’s not much easier. It is at most the materials and manufacturing cost of the physical taxi. That’s because from your definition:
By AGI I mean a computer program that functions as a drop-in replacement for a human remote worker, except that it’s better than the best humans at every important task (that can be done via remote workers).
Assume that creating robo-taxis is humanly possible. I can just run a couple AGIs and have them send a design to a factory for the robo-taxi, self-driving software included.
