"A level 4 autonomous vehicle will be for sale in the US to ordinary customers (80 percent)"
When this becomes universally adopted, it's going to have a bigger impact than anyone thinks.
Cities now derive revenue from traffic fines, parking fines, parking fees, and so on.
Level 4 autonomous vehicles are going to obviate ALL of that which means cities are going to lose more and more revenue as they become adopted.
And nobody is thinking about how to replace that revenue.
I live in Southern California in a parking impacted area. The amount of money they make off of "street sweeping" is insane. With this, you'd just tell your car to drive around until the street sweeping is done.
At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group
That sounds suspiciously like public transport. Are you a communist?
Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it's private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!
