    Urban planner Peter Calthorpe says a future in which self-driving cars with single passengers are the norm will worsen congestion in cities. But self-driving mass transit could be a game changer.https://nyti.ms/2D7NXwx

        The cars won't just drive themselves. They'll also be able to predict and account for traffic congestion. If it's congested the cars will stagger departure times. If there's one group of people that lack vision but tout their own genius its urban planners.

        Wont have to worry about roads cars and traffic much longer if we dont stop burning fossile fuels right now today. We should be talking about a complete halt of all non essential air and vehicle traffic immediately..not next year next month or next week..

        Of course driverless cars won't make a difference; possibly make things worse. However, exactly how would drivers buses become a game changer? Do you think people currently take their own cars 'cos of a fear of bus drivers?

        Transit service would become much more reliable; costs are reduced so more vehicles can be efficiently operated, and more frequent and convenient service would attract many more riders.

        People that don't want to travel on buses, now, won't want to whether there's a driver or not. It's the door to door convenience that appeals to car owners.

        I disagree. 90% of the time vehicles are sitting idle. The industry will morph were I pay a mthly maintenance fee to a leasing company and share a self-driving vehicle that will arrive at my door whenever we need the vehicle. Taxi's and Public transportation will cease to exist.

        A better model is Amsterdam where frequent trolleys will get you to within a 5 minute walk of just about anywhere you want to go. Many cities in the US had them until the early 1960s. Some are bringing them back to alleviate congestion in downtown areas.

        Looks like that is the plan with those Waymo Chrysler Pacifica self driving vans. To create a public transportation service on demand. @markoff will need dedicated lanes for sure

        Bicycles are single occupant vehicles. The congestion problem is caused by side-seated vehicle design. Fix: highway-capable, 100% electric, short narrow track vehicles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hu-2oB_yWk … Inventor Rick Woodbury: @TangoCarspic.twitter.com/YCXAknV0oA

        Telemetry will feed into an ai and navigate around congestion. Google will own the mappings and ai needed to accomplish this. It’s already in development and being fine tuned using Waze ( owned by google)

        I disagree. Self-Driving Cars would create a different kind of economy. Where there is no driver involved, Uber and Lyft would become more efficient and cheaper sharing models. When my car is not in use, I would rent it for Uber. 1/2

        2/2 There d b less no. of cars, not more, b/c cars'd become mode of transportation instead of status symbol. Driving would become a primitive excercise. More efficient cars'd create better traffic conditions. If incorporated with predictive analytics, less congestion on roads.

        Self-driving cars should be able to drive much much faster and safer. Cars would be networked. No traffic lights. No, stop and go. Cars would just mesh together in a congested organized flow reducing commute time.

        Maybe we could string several of them together into one vehicle and give them guiding rails to run on so they can travel faster?

        Nah, metal rail. Rubber on pavement can't travel as efficiently as metal on metal. More speed and efficiency if you string them together and put them on rails.
