Smart Av System

The worst case scenario for AVs is that they are used as roving living rooms – roaming around the ci

Autonomous vehicles could be a boon to cities – in effect serving as driverless taxis that are more numerous, close-by and convenient. But they could also become nightmares for cities.

Therefore:

Do not allow autonomous vehicles to be used as “roving living rooms” by occupants. Institute progressive congestion charges that make it increasingly expensive to remain in a vehicle for more than a reasonable amount of time (with a hardship exception for those who must travel long distances, or travel frequently). Instead, encourage AVs to be used as shared vehicles on a timeshare rental basis. Provide in addition for lower-cost, multiple-passenger AVs such as shuttle buses and fixed-route rapid transit vehicles. In every case, do not allow AVs to degrade the urban fabric, but employ them to protect and enhance existing environments.
