Recently I was interviewed by “The Fruit Guys,” an interesting company and newsletter/blog in Silicon Valley. They deliver healthy food to companies, but write on all kinds of subjects of interest to the high tech community and other businesses.
The focus of the story was the future of cars and commuting. I talked again about autonomous and shared vehicles, and the challenge of getting through the gap during which autonomous vehicles might share the road with human driven vehicles. I suggest that the gap might be managed by initially restricting self-driving cars to special lanes, zones or regions, until the car fleet has turned over (which take about 20 years).
