Commentary: what are the implications of autonomous vehicles for urban design practice?
The widespread deployment of autonomous vehicles over the coming decades will create challenges and opportunities for the urban design profession. The secondary impacts of this disruptive new technology will be positive, negative, or both, depending upon variables such as power source (electric vs. fossil fuel), ownership (fleet vs. private), and ridership (shared vs. individual). Urban design practitioners should develop and test new approaches and prototypes to address effects on the physical environment, work with allied professionals and decision-makers to advance policies that will produce better built form outcomes, and consider the impacts of urban design decisions on larger societal issues.
