To put this further in perspective, the NYC budget for FY 2017 is 82.2 Billion dollars, which about matches population difference.

- geofree 10y agoOr further perspective, Los Angeles is 8.7 Billion. (http://cao.lacity.org/budget15-16/2015-16Proposed_Budget.pdf http://cao.lacity.org/budget15-16/2015-16Proposed_Budget.pdf)
- ameister14 10y agoWow, that's nuts. I've been putting together a paper on the budgetary effects of driverless cars, but I haven't looked at LA yet - if that's their overall budget and they match a range of numbers with cities like Boston, DC and NY for traffic and parking violations, they're going to get hit HARD. [edit] just with a quick overview of parking alone, they're looking at a 3-5% drop in revenue with total adoption - I'll look into it more but if traffic/vehicle violations make up the normal percentage of 'licenses, permits, fines and fees' it'll be up to 10%.
