    This report from UITP asks questions such as whether autonomous vehicles will lead to more congestion, or contribute to the “regaining of urban space”. It says studies from MIT (New York), ITF (Lisbon) and VDV (Stuttgart) show “it would be possible to take every citizen to their destination with at least 80% fewer cars!” However, it also reports that public transport “offers the quickest development path to full autonomy because it can start operating in a limited area.”
