This has a huge potential to link up incredibly well with walking, cycling, micro mobility and trains and not to mention high density housing and/or green land. I hope that it is acted on.
Also a lot of people don’t use trains because of the last mile problem. (And because in america specifically they are a lower standard than they were in the 1800’s).
But if people could get a lift to the station and then to work. Or get the train 10 times a week and get a lift to and from the supermarket once a week without needing to buy a car. That will be a huge reclamation of space.
Could even be like a 10 lane (total) motorway going to two train lines and a two lane road. Not to mention the space it frees on minor roads.

Yup. Autonomous vehicles means re-claiming space now used for parking.
