If that’s the case you can reduce parking and incentivize reduced car use regardless of automation. It’s just an urban planning matter. It doesn’t follow that automation reduces the need for parking which then causes people to not own a c

Have you looked at Medicaid eligibility requirements? It is a common misunderstanding that if you’re poor you get Medicaid. Eg. In Florida no matter how poor your are you don’t qualify unless you’re disabled, have children, or are pregnant.

If people value it then at a certain point they’ll pay for it. What we might find out however is that a lot of these free services aren’t valued and no one will pay for it. And I think that just reinforces the point of the article: those se
