According to a recent survey, self-driving vehicles may actually increase congestion on our roads, rather than decrease it, as was previously predicted by ride share advocates.

The University of Sydney Business School’s latest Transport Opinion Survey (TOPS) found that two thirds of people who said they’d buy a self-driving car also said they wouldn’t lease their vehicle to other users when not in use.

The survey reveals that the government may have to impose a levy on the use of private cars if it wants to combat the increasing congestion on Australian roads. See more at https://www.fullyloaded.com.au/industry-news/1709/self-driving-technology-can-cause-more-traffic-congestion.
