Depending on the model, an LRV has a total capacity of 190-200 people, including standees.
Urban transportation, at least as it applies to talk of autonomous vehicles, is mostly a geometrical issue, not a technological one. While autonomous vehicles, in theory, may partially solve some geometrical and road capacity issues (don't necessarily need to park them proximate to their owner/passenger, might be able to achieve higher lane throughput, etc.) there will still be a need for high capacity transit (trains and buses) in large cities where a high proportion of passengers are standees.
They may eventually change the model/look of first/last mile transit though, i.e. feeder routes.
