There a multitude of easy fixes for this. I believe in London if you drive into the center, you have to pay a road fee or something like that.
Seems to me that this would fix the issue.
Also, I think that self-driving cars will have people sharing cars rather than owning one themselves, this will lead to fewer cars being owned overall, but not necessarily leading to less traffic since when you own a car it mostly just sits in your parking space.
Fewer cars means that those self-driving cars will probably be always on the road, which won't lead to any traffic savings.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoThat's the congestion pricing that the article was talking about.
- erdo 8y agoAt the moment it's a bit if a blunt instrument as you pay it once, then can drive around as much as you like for that day
- tomjen3 8y agoHonestly I don't see it as a problem, because the cars will drive a little further away to avoid having to run all the time, and I can just request my car to drive back to me when I am about to pay. In the places where I live, 5 minutes of driving means no-cost parking, as opposed to expensive parking; most likely it will be more effective to be able to use the parking that is a bit further away more effectively. And should I go somewhere to e.g see a movie or eat at a restaurant, the car can park so far away that there will be plenty of space for manual cars.
