Nice thread, but do you think drivers (uber / taxis / truck) will let autonomous replace them without protesting ? It is easy to block a self driving vehicle esp. if you ve lost your job. Shouldnt we be adding huge social unrest to your predictions ?
I didn’t include it because I haven’t developed my thoughts about that yet. Will also differ per country. I’m pretty confident Germany will be able to handle it much more smoothly than France, for example. Don’t think it would put the genie back though.
Great thread
. Thinking alot about how bicycles will fit into this conversion. Benefits from freeing up space by removing (some) cars can bring healthbenefits in many ways. People would use their bicycle more if the physical threat of cars are lower, research show. Ideas?

I see two trends which will increase the number of cyclists: Electric bikes and improved infrastructure https://twitter.com/thijsniks/status/948294965637074944 … It’s also easier to bike and not own a car, if you can request one on demand for those situations a bike doesn’t work
