A fascinating new simulation finds that self-driving cars will terraform cities:90% of cars will be eliminated, acres of land will open up, and commute times will drop 10%. A team of transportation scientists at the Organization for Cooperation and Development took data on actual trips in Lisbon, Portugal and looked at how a fleet of self-driving, shared “taxibots” would change city landscape [PDF].
We need to move to large scale implementation as soon as the technology is good enough
Like next week, please.
