Basic game theory dictates that if automated driving is seen as too safe, pedestrians will feel comfortable walking anywhere, anytime. Dense downtowns will become completely gridlocked and unusable for cars. Which maybe isn’t a bad thing. But if you want cars in cities you need them to be perceived as dangerous. Yeah I was convinced by Gladwell.

- pidge 5y agoYeah Los Angeles already fines pedestrians pretty aggressively for jaywalking, even on urban pedestrian-heavy streets. This maintains a different norm for the city about jaywalking than say Boston, so in principle the issue seems quite solvable.
- paulkrush 5y agoI agree, but also think we will adapt in many different ways. New types of tickets. There would be no go zones where pedestrians don't compile(or comply!). Mackinac island will not have this issue! And for fun I have to note basic game theory also dictates if we replace airbags with a sharped steel spike that comes out during accidents people will drive safer!
