      Many people still think autonomy means removing the steering wheel and changing nothing else. It's as big a change as removing the horse

      Autonomy massively expands access to buses: they no longer have to be big and follow fixed routes in high-density areas.

      Autonomy changes traffic: computers don't drive like people. So capacity massively increases (yes, induced demand), and accidents disappear

      Autonomy changes parking: cars don't need to wait in walking distance and you don't need to hunt parking spaces. No more city centre parking

      Autonomy will change cities as much as cars did. Thinking this is just about 'self-driving cars' is like talking about 'horseless carriages'

          Very ideological - what happens when people realize that the cars will be forced to stop just by walking in to the street?

          Also for the disbaled, elderly, blind etc the mobility prospects (from A-to-B at least) are massive. And much needed.
