I'm cynical too of this plan's success, but what excites me is that there is a plan. I find the subject of AVs and cities, their interactions and consequences on the urban form incredibly interesting. Hopefully I'll get to do my graduation thesis on that topic. Currently, I think that cities need to start taking the impact and deployment of AVs more seriously and need to start thinking about the long-term effects, the needed investments and restrictions they will need to put in place to keep it from spinning out of control. Just imagine what the Robert Moses of AV's would do to cities. I wonder if we're headed to a Renaissance of car-oriented urban expansions / commutes. (Also lol at that exhibit. Only in LA...)
