Stanford University Hosts Conference on Driverless Cars

Here’s a post on a conference held at Stanford University recently on driverless cars.  As I’ve mentioned, I don’t deny that there are benefits, e.g., fewer accidents, better productivity due to better flowing traffic, and better fuel efficiencies.  But I sure would like to see a new paradigm in personal mobility that does more than remove the driver.  How about removing the car? 

We need more mass transit, ride-sharing, car-sharing, e-bikes, micro-rentals, small urban commuting and package-delivery vehicles, as well as cities designed to promote walking and bicycling.
