You don't need atonomous vehicles to make this work. A good public transit system within the city, decent bike lanes and some park and ride options for getting in from the outskirts could be enough to make up for the reduced parking options.
- luma 8y agoWhile I appreciate the wisdom of this approach, the concept of mass transit isn’t new, and for large parts of the US has never worked out for one reason or the other. There are obvious exceptions in high density urban centers, but your typical mid sized midwestern city has never seemed to make mass transit take hold. For better or worse (mostly worse), people by and large continue to prefer private automobiles as their primary (or only) mode of transportation.
- maym86 8y agoSure, but the parking requiments mentioned above only really an issue in high density cities. I don't think requiring adequate parking is an issue in the lower density areas. Hopefully this will encourage people to consider other options if parking becomes to difficult or expensive.
