2017年1月26日The prospect of Connected and 自主车辆 (CAVs) represents a transformation in the way the world 移动s. CAVs will also be a significant disruptor to established practices across multiple industries. As potentially defining elements of integrated mobility systems in the cities of tomorrow, they are likely to have considerable influence on how we live, 工作, 玩, 移动, 和交互. 在IBI。!NK的第一个口袋R&D project, I explored the potential gains and pains of this emerging technology for our cities. The full report on the urban effects of CAVs is 可以在这里,但有几个关键点是:
安全: CAVs could eliminate or reduce the severity of 90% of traffic-related fatalities, 但是过渡期, when both CAVs and non-CAVs are on the road present challenges and could create more chaos, 在它提供分辨率之前..
交通和土地利用效率: CAVs could improve public transportation services and decrease vehicle ownership by providing improved and more efficient on-demand transportation services in low-demand areas. 然而, enabling private CAV ownership could replace trips made by public transit and increase vehicle kilometres travelled as people tolerate longer commutes, live further from their 工作place and travel more often.
基础设施和交通支出: On-demand CAVs could reduce the need for car ownership and promote other modes of transportation, but labour shortages may result in backlashes against job automation.
CAVs present impressive opportunities, but also real threats. 影响 会不会超越交通运输的范畴 而且会影响到整个过程 我们的城市是有组织的. Upon conclusions of this research project, I realized the real questions wasn’t so much about how will CAVs impact cities, 而是, how will we leverage CAVs to achieve the impacts we want? 想了解更多,请点击 我们的新视频 on the potential routes autonomous vehicles could follow. Will a driverless future be bleak or bright? That depends on how much we can learn from our past.
