Self driving cars will be quiet, electric, clean, shared and won't need the parking space. They'll make living in high density areas that much more viable and pleasant. I wouldn't be betting on sprawl right now. A long commute is still a long commute.
- astrange 10y agoThe car form factor can't be shared because everyone needs one at the same time (to commute to work). This is a major problem with making good cities in America, would be solvable by reintroducing minibuses.
- Fricken 10y agoPeak traffic on a typical weekday in Seattle is around 5:30, when 1/5th of all daily use vehicles are on the road at the same time.
- astrange 10y agoThat's interesting, but how many daily use vehicles are rides that could be replaced by bus trips? It sounds like a more general category.
