Comment:
I believe that these vehicles are coming sooner rather than later. Is there a dialog going on between Caltrans and CTA with the major AV players (google, etc) These vehicles have the potential to solve a lot of congestion, but will need, as mark said, their own infrastructure. Also, what do you think of the potential paradigm shift from car ownership to car "use"? Can you see californians giving up their cars in order to get around more efficiently? I like the idea of fleets of AVs ability to re-position the fleet automatically to where they will be needed (say from a mall to a BART station at commute periods) How can we best be prepared for this major change in the way we think about automobiles?
