@zackkanter Just read your driverless cars piece. Fascinating thoughts. But how do they get rid of mass transit /and/ traffic?
@hankgreen 1/~30% of traffic in cities caused by ppl looking for parking. 25% of all traffic due to accidents, 90% caused by human error

@zackkanter But if all the people who take mass transit are in cars, that's like +200% to +1000% increase in traffic. -
@hankgreen see http://www.popsci.com/how-autonomous-cars-will-change-traffic-2 … and study referenced in article.

@hankgreen 2/driverless cars can drive closer together, faster. Higher avg # of psngrs/veh due to algorithmic-drive ride sharing (Uberpool) -
@hankgreen 3/Uber's mission: 'Transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere, for everyone' = the end of (public) mass transport.
