interesting link, do you think this increased use could go hand in hand with increased efficiency? think about it. if every car drove optimally, they would meet their planned MPG. Now no one gets the listed MPG as they all drive like, well humans.
- jacques_chester 15y agoThe point here is that very efficient driverless cars may encourage more travel than driver cars do. The increase in total miles travelled may more than offset the savings for any given passenger mile. The key to the Jevons paradox is that first order estimates of the effects of efficiency are misleading. You must also give regard to how the increased efficiency will change buyer preferences.
