Jeff Speck, Urban Planner & Author of Walkable City 1. Be afraid. Technology always wins. 2. Be realistic. Know what you expect from AVs. 3. Decide how much traffic you want. 4. Plan for sprawl pressure. 5. Understand transit geometry, i.e. low occupancy vehicles presents a problem. 6. Don t rob transit (see 5.) Uber has its sights set on transit. 7. Own the streets and the data. 8. Don t buy any urban vision that doesn t consider urbanism, e.g. streets, blocks and squares. 9. Unify around a set of policy demands. 10. Invest now in current technology revolution. The biggest revolution is a bicycle. AVs are the right answer to the wrong question. Why do we all ask how we can make cars better? Where has that gotten us? The right question is how we can provide the most useful mobility to the most people with the most positive outcomes for society. The answer includes cars, buses, trains, biking and walking.especially biking and walking. 10 Principles Cities Should Live By When Considering Autonomous Vehicles

Game Changer! Transportation as a Service (TaaS)
We are on the cusp of one of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruptions of transportation in history. By 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of autonomous vehicles (AVs), 95% of U.S. passenger miles traveled will be served by on-demand autonomous electric vehicles owned by fleets, not individuals by 2030, individually owned ICE vehicles will still represent 40% of the vehicles in the U.S. vehicle fleet, but they will provide just 5% of passenger miles. The disruption will be driven by economics. Using TaaS, the average American family will save more than $5,600 per year in transportation costs, equivalent to a wage raise of 10%. This will keep an additional $1 trillion per year in Americans pockets by 2030, potentially generating the largest infusion of consumer spending in history.

Emerging ACES Solution
Another Emerging ACES Solution
Automated, Connected, Electric and Shared (ACES) technology will become a bigger part of our future. It must be so. These technologies will take the form of traditional (cars, buses, etc.) and non-traditional (first/last mile, overhead pods, etc.) modes of transportation. Consideration must be given to these multiple mode options when seeking to solve our local transportation problems. Viewing transportation as a service is a vital ingredient in our growing economy.
