Can anyone help with 15 down, please. The clue is:
Cricketer and American president taking black cab with no cabbie.
8 letters.
I have - O - O - A - I
It looks like COTOPAXI which contains the word TAXI but I cannot make any sense of the clue. Any help appreciated.

robotaxi? (cab with no cabbie)
ROOT is the cricketer, around B(lack), but I don't see how AXI comes from American president

A American
Xi president (Jinping that is)

Thank you all very much. Most helpful. Robotaxi was not in my vocabulary - but it is now!
Happy New Year

Please can anyone help with these?

32d: Caught injecting drug, Republican laughed (8)

I have N - C - E - E -
It looks like NICKERED. Caught is NICKED, incorporating E (drug) and R (Republican) - but what in the clue means "laughed"? At a pinch it could be SNICKERED minus its first letter, but there's no deletion indicator.

37d: Irritated, state worked to remove leaders (11)
I have EXASPERATED (= irritated). If that's correct, how does the parsing work?

I think NICKERED can mean "chortled" or laughed

(t)EXAS (o)PERATED

Thanks Chrise. Every day is a schoolday...

56a Expected lean fighter in Chicago (7)

No problem with DUE + LIST but what has Chicago got to do with it?

US spelling. We would have LL

Doh. Thanks ChrisE. Fooled by that cheap shot of using the specific for the generic.
