Look at something like the podbike and imagine that as a self driving micro taxi that goes 50 kmh max. Little embedded energy, material and only needs small batteries and incredibly energy efficient because of aerodynamics (slimmer). Energy efficient even compared to trains or busses, especially in areas or times with lower utilization.
If you want to eliminate cars and make mass transit work as energy efficient as possible, you NEED self driving single seater cars (or double seaters with face to face).
Yeah but a car build with bicycle parts. Drastically less energy, recyclable and environmentally sustainable. Build a state owned factory to build a million of these micro cars for the big cities and ban all cars. It’s technologically feasible right now and it would be more luxurious for people. You need to add a little bit of honey to your environmentalism lol.

Your proposal sounds a lot like a car, but then slower and self-driving.

there is always a need for extremely low volume medium distance travel, taxis are currently the most public transit-esq option for this
