Self-driving vehicles could change public transport as we currently know it.
The potential impact of self-driving shared fleets on urban mobility is significant. It will be shaped by policy choices and deployment options.
Active management is needed to lock in the benefits of freed space.
Improvements in road safety are almost certain. Environmental benefits will depend on vehicle technology.
New vehicle types and business models will be required.
Public transport, taxi operations and urban transport governance will have to adapt.
Mixing fleets of shared self-driving vehicles and privately-owned cars will not deliver the same benefits as a full TaxiBot/AutoVot fleet - but it still remains attractive.
