The End of Driving

Workshop for Transportation Planners, Innovators, & Leaders

Automated Vehicles are on the cusp of arrival in the rapidly evolving New Mobility streetscape of ride-hailing, ride-sharing, falling transit ridership, bike-sharing, and mobility apps. These promise both unprecedented opportunities and new risks. City leaders and planners know the stakes are high. But how can we plan if we do not know how much of what we are being told is true — and how much is hype?

The End of Driving Workshop offers participants a thorough understanding of the current trends that are propelling transportation into an extraordinary revolution. We will examine economic, environmental, and social impacts that vehicle automation and related advances could bring. These sessions cut a path through speculation and uncertainty to focus on the specific risks, opportunities, and choices cities and communities face right now, and in the first opening years of this coming modal choice. The workshop offers a set of tools and ideas to navigate this new world.
