Learning Module: Shared Autonomous Vehicles

The adoption of AV technologies has the potential to impact the urban environment significantly in both positive and negative ways. It is important for cities to think through the complex interactions between vehicle autonomy and, for example, pedestrians, transit, cycling, scooters, ridesourcing, parking, local business, and public space. Streets will need to be planned, and in some cases reconfigured, to balance mobility, safety, economic prosperity, environmental responsibility, equity, and quality of life. Forward-thinking cities have an opportunity to leverage AV technological innovation to achieve public goals rather than merely allowing their communities to be overwhelmed by whatever comes next.
