Prepare for gridlock if future for autonomous vehicles is plentiful cheap journeys
Hiring a taxi is expensive. This is mostly because of the cost of the human driver. Replacing that driver with a robot will clearly reduce the cost. That is the one of the key promises of autonomous vehicles (AVs)—in the future, we will be able to travel where we want, when we want at low cost because we will no longer own cars and nor will we have to pay the high costs of human drivers.
