Autonomous Vehicles Will Change Everything About Cities
🚗💡 Are autonomous vehicles the key to freeing our cities—or just another step toward deeper car dependency? In this episode, we sit down with Evan Shieh, architect, urbanist, professor, and author of Autonomous Urbanism: Towards a Transitopia, to explore how AVs could transform the urban landscape. We discuss the hidden impact of parking, the failures of past mobility revolutions, and whether AVs will truly liberate our streets or reinforce the status quo. From reclaiming urban space to rethinking transportation policy, this conversation will change the way you see the future of cities. Tune in now! 🎧
