Poor people driving six in a junker, you will starve and kill if you make their cars illegal - and they'll probably drive them anyhow. Most likely you'll see automation being required (and more easily adapted) to highly traveled and standardized roadways (freeways/highways) rather than the last mile sort of thing where driving becomes much more unpredictable. Car enthusiasts aren't your enemy here. By the way, before we get too enamored with fully autonomous driving, remember that these things fail in the rain and are involved in twice as many accidents per mile driven in pristine conditions than the average driver in all conditions. It's going to be decades before this stuff works, let alone hits five nines level of penetration. This tech might become interesting later, but it's more important to focus on stuff that works right now - light rail, BRT and so on. OP, thanks for the awesome thread. You'll definitely see more stuff about Sound Transit 3 from me as it becomes available.

Warcabbit posted:I _am_ a car enthusiast. My daily drive is a Focus ST. I agree as to what you're saying, I was skipping ahead to endgame, because to get utopian advances that truly treat personal vehicles as mass transit, that's where you have to look - you have to say 'this stuff won't happen till endgame' or 'this stuff won't happen without a massive change in social behavior I don't see happening, and here's why.'  Thanks for the clarification! BRZ driver myself.
