5. TODAY: Avg 18% of household income
Parking challenging
Congestion & Time wasting
Excludes young/old/disabled
Poor air quality
Reduces city livability
10. Technology has Transformed Sharing
GPS, Wireless Tech & Internet made CARSHARING possible
As easy to rent a car as use your own
30 seconds to reserve/pay for a car
Self service pickup/dropoff
Reserved “homebase” parking space
1 shared car = 12 personal cars
Need less parking
People drive less (financially rational)
11. Technology has Transformed Sharing
With Smart phones, TRANSIT APPS
make it easy to know
• Which train, bus
• What time
• Where to get on & where to get off
City Benefits:
• More riders
• Cheaper & better access
• Less congestion
12. Technology has Transformed Sharing
With Smart phones & better AI,
taxis can enable real RIDESHARING:
• Origin-destination-timing matches
City Benefits:
• Reduced congestion
• Better access
16. Sales Promised
by 2018-2021
Old guard:
∎ GM
∎ Ford
∎ Toyota
∎ Nissan
∎ Volvo
∎ BMW
∎ Audi
∎ Volkswagen
New companies:
∎ Google
∎ Tesla
∎ Uber
∎ Apple
∎ Many startups

18. There’s an urgency to our mission about being
part of the future. This is not a side project.
This is existential for us.
UBER CEO Travis Kalanick on deploying
Autonomous UBERs in Pittsburgh (August 2016)
24. AV benefits are differentiated
by geography.
AVs
Personal & Electric
Exurban
FAVES
Fleets of AVs that
are Electric &
Shared
Urban.
Safety benefits
felt here.
Fewer cars (shared) &
better air quality
(electric) key benefits
here.
32. RATS in cities BAD!
RATS in countryside:
no problem!
Remember
DENSITY MATTERS
For AV policy &
benefits
33. 21.3% RED surface parking
3.7% YELLOW above-ground parking garages
2.6% GREEN park space
39.7% STREETS (including sidewalks)
64.7% TOTAL for rights-of-way plus off-street parking
Houston, TX 2011
35. WRONG: We won’t get
there by replacing
buses with AV buses
Good for bus company
Bad for passengers
This will NOT encourage
the switch from
personal cars to FAVES.
36. A LIKELY SCENARIO: 5-year transition from CARS to FAVES
Year 1: 100 small vehicle pilot in mid-size city (students/tourists)
Years 2-5: Expands to 1000 vehicle fleet. Cheaper & more convenient
than status quo. First 2nd vehicles sold. Then primary. On some routes,
vehicles will become shuttle & bus size.
Years 3-5: Other cities need to adopt to be competitive/modern,
innovative.
AVs for Urban & trucking
Suburban & Rural?
37. FAVES
will be the fastest path
to electrification of passenger miles
41. Current Sources:
Gas Taxes
Toll revenues
Permits & Fees
Tickets & Fines
Parking
Registrations
Taxes for Motor vehicle manufacturing & use = $206 Billion/year*
($110b state & $96b in federal)
& 2nd order effects
Loss of taxes on associated labor &
businesses now defunct
With electric Avs
None
Fall by 60-90% (the higher end if we go to FAVES
(reduced vehicles through tolls))

42. Taxing AVS
Getting the incentives right
Certificates of Entitlement
Vehicles on purchase category
• Fuel type
• Weight
• Square footage
Road user fees (based on category)
• Distance
• Congestion
• ZERO OCCUPANCY PREMIUM
Retail
• Pickup/Dropoff
• VAT
45. Shared, Electric
LAND USE & URBAN PLANNING
Planning & Criteria for New Space
TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE REVS
No gas tax, parking, tickets, 1/10th tolls
New: fuel type, weight, distance, congestion,
occupancy
LABOR
Rapid crash in sector jobs
Enable diversification today; plan
for future
DATA
Open APIs, Privacy, Security
Transparency, Portability
ENERGY
New grid load must
be renewables
COMMUNITY
Demand for FAVES vision
TRANSPORT
w/out ownership,
integrated multimodal
To accomplish this big vision
10% OF CURRENT VEHICLES
We need to the involvement of many sectors
VICTIMS
Organize those
who have suffered
46. Local city research
ACCESS DIVIDEND
How many jobs newly accessible?
At higher wages?
LAND VALUE DIVIDEND
Inventory on-street & off-street
parking. What new uses, criteria &
priority? What new value?
LABOR DIVIDEND
How many jobs lost? How might
they be redeployed for more
community gain?
TAX DIVIDEND
How much transport & labor tax
revenue lost? Get to redo with
better incentives & amounts.
47. NEW MOBILITY PROTOCOL FOR LIVABLE CITIES
PHASED
1) Standard and pooled data for competitive &
quality shared transport services
2) Zero emission fleets
3) Congestion sticks (pricing) & carrots (land use)
4) AVs only in shared fleets

Editor's Notes
In densely populated areas, poor air quality has significant negative impacts on the health of residents. Intensively used vehicles have greater impact on air quality while also able to reap greater cost-benefits over combustion engines. Shared use vehicles include those used for hire to transport passengers or freight, including car rental and car-sharing.
Cities should seek to maximize the likelihood of passengers sharing vehicle trips. This requires that companies share same ways to communicate data. Permits small local and startups to compete. Ensures evolution of services; future proofing technology.
1) maximize learning per vehicle in these first years and thus safety; 2) enusre maintenance and software upgrades done by professionals; 3) the benefits of autonomous travel are available to all and extend access; 4) makes early sales easier for manufacturers; 5) codifies OEM intent to sell first limited supply of AVs to shared fleets
*at a minimum should be constrained to areas with population density greater than 10,000/m2 (6,250/km2), city limits or other geographically defined limitations.
