Again with the politics? Self driving cars will reduce traffic accidents. It will also make ride sharing more affordable, which will make it more practical to not own a car, which will reduce the demand for parking space, which will reduce land costs, which will make it slightly more affordable for the homeless to have a place to live. It won't eliminate the restrictive zoning laws that drive up home prices, but that's not a topic for this list. -- -- Matt Mahoney, mattmahone...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T56889bf27bc7ed87-M5635b41e1dac806dfd210c14 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
