RE: Autonomous Taxis: The Death of Trains and Buses
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I haven't really ever looked at how train systems work — that is cost and all — but I imagine that their biggest benefits is that they reduce traffic burdens, which others have commented below.
How would we navigate the increase of cars on the road?
Maybe we can argue that most traffic jams are a product of human error, which autonomously driving vehicles would have less occurance of?
I am curious on how you see that playing out.

Traffic will be mitigated by autonomous vehicles as their will be smoother traffic flow. We see this in any computer versus human run system.
Also tunnels will become an even bigger part of the equation. It is likely that tunneling usurps much of the need for flying cars, at least in urban areas.
