OK, I stand corrected. I just googled it, trying to find the sources, and all I could find is that my hypothesis is actually myth.

Author of article calls for adoption of robotaxis, despite having only data for one kind of robotaxis. Tesla had bad start with theirs.
Second, as another commenter pointed out, tech industry is prone to enshitification. Meaning, this great dataset is just there to lure us in.

I did when I was elementary school kid, in Europe. Nothing bad happened, ever. from my kid perspective the worse experience was being forced to get out of the seat for older person.
Again, it is cultural. USA culture is cruel, so Bob, you're right, kid on a bus in USA would be harmed.
