The cost and availability of parking is one of the primary deterrants to car ownership and driving. If that is removed, then due to induced demand, the price commuting by car will substantially decrease. Following induced demand again this means the amount of traffic on the road will substantially increase, which will be a nightmare for cities.
Autonomous cars will not solve anything and will in all likelihoods make the situation much worse.
The only thing that will take cars off the road is simply to reduce the amount of road available to them.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoOne thing that will take cars off the road is to provide better alternatives modes of transportation.
- Tiktaalik 8y agoNope again due to induced demand. As people abandon their cars for public transit options, less traffic incentivizes people to choose to drive. Traffic will always fill to occupy the available space available. This is why LA and Houston have built incredibly wide highways and have never solved their traffic issues.
