Robotaxis face hurdles in replacing private cars: costs, wait times and empty runs

Robotaxis could reshape taxi and ride-hailing markets but are unlikely to replace private cars in the United States, an analysis said. Even if autonomous driving removes drivers, robotaxis may not become much cheaper once operating costs, wait times and empty runs are factored in. Commenters cited estimates of private-car costs at about $0.75 to $1 per mile and said robotaxis would need to fall further to change consumer behavior.

Grayscale says Aave undervalued, targets $175 if regulations clarified

Asset manager Grayscale said Aave’s AAVE token is undervalued and could more than double within a year if rules on real-world-asset tokenisation become favourable. In a report applying a discounted cash flow model to crypto projects, it estimated Aave’s 2026 revenue at about $60 million and put fair value at $80 to $100, versus about $77 at the time. Grayscale cited potential institutional inflows and growing tokenisation markets as key drivers.

France to halt certification of security products without post-quantum cryptography from 2027

France plans to phase out existing cryptographic systems to prepare for the era of quantum computers. From 2027 it will stop certifying security products that do not apply post-quantum cryptography, and by 2030 it aims to steer government agencies and critical infrastructure operators to adopt only quantum-resistant products. The move is linked to concerns about “Q-Day” and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, and is expected to accelerate quantum-risk discussions in blockchain and cryptocurrency.
