Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are primed to become the next revolution in mobility.

 

Marketers and engineers enthusiastically promise numerous benefits that AVs will deliver in a future without human drivers: Huge reductions in accidents, parking spots, congestion, among many others. Even the elimination of the loathsome commute

 

But there are as many, if not more potential ways that the AV revolution can also go wrong: worsening traffic and congestion, urban sprawl, and eroding public transit, for example.
