Driverless cars could easily boost mass transit use by efficiently handling last mile problems. Although driverless short jaunt tuktuks might be better.

- shiroiushi 2y agoBike-share works extremely well here in Tokyo. I see people on the red Docomo bikes every time I go almost anywhere. For cargo, people generally pay for a delivery service if it's something too cumbersome to carry. In large cities like this, people don't buy a month's worth of groceries all at once; they only buy as much as they can carry.
