10 Principles Toward More Sharing and Less Sprawl
Planetizen

Abstract
What is the best outcome for health and humanity in an autonomous vehicle future? How can we balance transportation efficiency with effective land use and a desire for livable cities? For planners, the best outcome is one that does not allow cars to dominate humans (pedestrians, bicyclists, and residents), likely achieved through a stronger, integrated, and balanced transportation land use connection. At the very least, the future of transport should not degrade livability—leading to sprawl or lengthy trips, thereby paradoxically consuming any new capacity created by the technological advances of autonomous vehicles (AVs).
