SHANGHAI -- Taxi drivers in China are facing cutthroat competition from ride-hailing apps, robotaxis and even flying cars, pushing some to use several smartphones in the battle for customers.
Ride-hailing services have been popular in China since early in the technology's history. Didi, the leader with a market share of about 70%, was founded in 2012. Domestic ride-sharing app users in China exceeded 500 million in December last year.
