>How is autonomous driving an increasingly scarce resource?
Space is the scarce resource. In a city that's full of 90% of the time parked cars it doesn't really make sense for everyone to have their own car. Autonomous driving just combines the best of Uber and car sharing.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoIn a city having excellent public transport makes even more sense than cars :) And outside the city space isn't an issue.
- jbjbjbjb 5y agoThats difficult if like in North America you’ve spent the last hundred years building your cities from scratch to suit cars and feel nice and spacious.
- CorrectHorseBat 5y agoPublic transport is not the answer to everything. What if you want to visit your relatives outside the city/move some heavy things/...
- gspr 5y agoFor visiting outside the city, you temporarily rent a vehicle outside the city, where space isn't a problem. For moving heavy things: come on, how big of an impact on city traffic is this really?
- CorrectHorseBat 5y agoOr, you accept there is nothing wrong with a few cars in the city and have taxis/car sharing/autonomous cars inside the city for when you need them.
- gspr 5y agoSure.
- relativ575 5y agoLook around a residential area in Zurich. Not very far from a train station. Yet there are still a lot or cars, and many empty parking space. If a place with such a fantastic public transportation still requires that many cars, what does it tell you about people's habit? https://www.google.com/maps/@47.4049509,8.5855091,3a,75y,292.08h,78.63t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sSUYD3fQdD__yfbTlSRoFuQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DSUYD3fQdD__yfbTlSRoFuQ%26cb_client%3Dsearch.revgeo_and_fetch.gps%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D171.90012%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@47.4049509,8.5855091,3a,75y,292...
