In a few years from now self-driving electric cars will be a reality. What will our cities be like? Will there be more cars or fewer? Will the possession of a car become a small business since cars can be robotaxis when they are not being used by the owner?
Will cities become much pleasanter places to live? Fewer cars, and maybe most of those driving in underground tunnels, less pollution, quiet streets with plenty of room for pedestrians.
How will the labour market be changed? Millions of truck drivers, car mechanics, highway police, garage attendants will be jobless. On the other hand, new jobs will be created. Maybe you can get a hairdresser to ride along with you in a robotaxi, or some form of entertainment.
What will commuting be like in 10 years? Come and discuss your vision of the future of transport. Bring your friends!
IM Vulcan Viper if you have ideas for new subjects.
