Blueprint for Autonomous Urbanism: Second Edition

This edition of the Blueprint is organized into three parts, taking the reader through the principles and political structures that underscore and shape our vision of the future, key policy choices around transit, pricing, freight, and data that can reshape our cities, and finally, exploring the sweeping vision for city streets of the future: Shaping the Autonomous Future Today, Policies to Shape the Autonomous Age, and Design for the Autonomous Age

Shaping the Autonomous Future Today: The future will depend on decisions we make today. What are the values that underscore our vision of the future? What is the status of technology and where could intentions collide with reality? How can cities leverage the powers at their disposal to affect longterm change and influence the shape of the city and the region? What are the challenges that cities may face in working to ensure that an autonomous future always puts people first?

Policies to Shape the Autonomous Age: Transit, pricing, freight, and data management are four key areas where thoughtful AV policies can significantly improve mobility, health, vibrancy, and the quality of life in cities. How can transit be prioritized to shape the autonomous future? How can pricing be used to ensure efficiency and equity? What must be done now to ensure a thriving workforce in an autonomous age? What technologies support sustainable, efficient transit and freight operations?
