Applying this to everyone else, half of car trips would be empty cars, doubling traffic volume. Cities would be worse for pedestrians.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoI don't see why cities would be worse for pedestrians since there is no reason for pedestrians and cars to mix... Modern urban spaces try to segregate as much as possible. In any case, I think a possible consequence could rather be a drop in private ownership and price of services like Uber: Cars can drive themselves, which removes the main cost of taxis (the human driver), and can be summoned as needed via an app, so perhaps the need to own one decreases along with the need for parking space.
