I don't know if this chain of events actually lines up. The way I see it, autonomous vehicles will allow anyone (not just millennials) to reclaim that lost time commuting, which can be used for work and thus make the idea of commuting from the suburbs not all that bad. Then people won't mind moving far away from the city centers given that the commute is no longer a fruitless activity. Personally I'd be very happy to live an hour away from a city if it meant that I could use the 2 hours round-trip to do work (if I still had to work in an office).
- Unkechaug 9y agoI think that wish would be corrupted quickly. Oh so you commute all the way out to the suburbs? Hey since we know you'll have nothing to do anyway please complete these additional tasks. If you work on the way home we won't bother you after you actually arrive there.

- Eridrus 9y agoWe're almost certainly going to see more congestion charges put in place when self-driving cars take off, making this a less viable strategy. I feel like we're going to need differently organized cities to really see drastic benefits from self-driving cars in large cities.
