Autonomous Vehicle News
Someday in the future, if you believe the hype, we'll all get around in self-driving cars. Overall, the prediction is that autonomous vehicles will reduce traffic congestion. Self-driving cars may exacerbate urban sprawl with commuters content to relax in their vehicles for a long commute.But shared self-driving cars may combat these problems and deliver the much-longed for free-flowing traffic. Shared self-driving cars may even complement or replace conventional fixed-schedule and fixed-route transit systems, such as buses.Shared self-driving cars coupled with transit could be one solution to cities' traffic congestion problems. In the meantime, traffic congestion continues to grow.Strategies to reduce congestion exist already, such as public transport, congestion charging and flexible work schedules that allow employees to begin work at various times of the day.
