This will be absolutely necessary when cars are self-driving. Instead of parking they will just drift around the block when you buy something for example. Also there will be empty Uber cars drifting around to be close if somebody needs it. On top you won't worry so much about traffic if you can sleep in you car or do something else.
Driving was always limited by the costs of somebody sitting behind the wheel. Look how congested many cities of third world countries are, low labor costs for cab drivers are a factor there.
- RandallBrown 8y agoI think midtown manhattan is a pretty good example of what self driving cars will look like. Most of the vehicles are taxis, ride shares, or delivery trucks. Very few of them ever park longer than to drop something off.
- ghaff 8y ago>low labor costs for cab drivers It's not just cab drivers in particular. Having a driver is quite common for even middle class people or a sales person making the rounds during the day. I personally believe that self-driving in congested cities is a long way off. But it will absolutely be the case that if driving around empty is cheaper than parking that's what will happen.
- ibm5100 8y agoI would be shocked if the city council didn't ban the commercial use of self driving vehicles. Too many unemployed, would breed a Paris riot situation.
