Abstract

Today, driverless/autonomous/self-driving cars are a hot topic in conversations about the future of our urban areas. Many people reasonably expect that some variant of driverless cars will dominate our future urban transportation scene. However, there are strong reasons to have uncertain expectations about what exactly that transportation scene will finally look like, how long it will take to complete and how it will evolve over the intervening years. The analysis in this paper suggests that the path will be neither quick nor easy, and that the toughest issues will not be technological, but psychological, sociological and perhaps most importantly, political.
