The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) has warned that the roll-out of autonomous vehicles (AVs) could lead to a dystopian future of even more private car traffic on the road unless they are put to use in shared fleets and integrated with traditional public transport services.
The paper, ‘Autonomous vehicles: a potential game changer for urban mobility,’ argues that despite the risk of increased congestion due to car travel becoming even more comfortable and attractive, an alternative exists.
