Article from NY Times about the future of driverless cars
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/07/disruptions-how-driverless-cars-could-reshape-cities/
A lot of things i didn't really consider about these things being the norm
Cliffs:
1. Never looking for parking spots...car drops you off and drives away itself to find one or is arranged with other auto-cars like shopping carts
2. No parking spots could mean streets could be narrower because there would be no need for parking spaces on the streets which would increase the room in cities for everything really
3. Some city planners expect that the cost of homes will fall as more space will become available in cities.
4. No more street lights if the cars are intelligent and can sense each other
5. I could sleep in my driverless car, or have an exercise bike in the back of the car to work out on the way to work,” he said. “My time spent in my car will essentially be very different.”
things i thought of that weren't in the article
Car insurance changes...will you need it at all?
No more DUIs? how mad will cops be and will they let that fly
Feel free to add anything else you think may change.....i really wish this was happening right now sounds awesome
