TROIKA CURES GREEK
Jun 30, 2015

by R. Guyovich
Something important to keep in mind is that automated driverless cars are coming wayyyyyy faster than a lot of people think- probably under 20 years. It's going to radically change the way we think about transportation and car ownership, particularly in dense urban areas. The other thing is that most car manufactures are moving to looking at alternative buying models, including things like shared leases (up to 10 people I think) and purchases, along with a plan to massively increase the number of shared services like zipcar.

Hopefully we get more trains too (the technology to automate those already exists actually)! But any urban plan that doesn't take into account those emerging technologies is doomed to long term failure.
