Shared Self-Driving Cars Could Cut Car Park 90%
Fleets of shared autonomous vehicles could provide virtually the same personal mobility as today's privately owned car structure but with only 10% as many vehicles, according to an analysis the International Transport Forum in Paris.

Fleets of shared autonomous vehicles could provide virtually the same personal mobility as today's privately owned car structure but with only 10% as many vehicles, according to an analysis the International Transport Forum in Paris.
The study says robotic cars could trim the number of in-service vehicles by two-thirds even during peak periods. ITF says the biggest reductions would come by combining fleets of shared-ride "taxibots" with single-passenger "autovots" and high-speed public transport.
The analysis points out that a complete switch to automated cars would eliminate virtually all need for on-street parking, thus freeing an estimated 20% of city road space for other uses.
Even without high-speed mass transit, robotic cars would slash the number of cars in cities 80%, the study says.
