I can't recommend this video highly enough. It gives an all too realistic assessment of what autonomous vehicles will do to our cities, and it's not good.

Bigger vehicles can be safer in crashes, but far more dangerous for pedestrians.
And the average size of cars and trucks in the U.S. continues to grow. Some current models – like that of the Toyota Rav4 – are a third larger than they were only 15 years ago.
That’s led to a 77% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2010.

Ever-larger cars and trucks are causing a safety crisis on US streets – here's how communities can fight back
Cars are getting bigger on US roads, and that’s increasing pedestrian and cyclist deaths. A transport scholar identifies community-level strategies for making streets safer.The Conversation
“Fun fact: #SimCity was forced to pretend that all parking lots were underground because the game would be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.”
Boring like too many real places ruined by too much parking?

We Should Be Building Cities for People, Not Cars
The way we live is shaped by our infrastructure—the public spaces, building codes, and utilities that serve a city or region. It can act as the foundation for thriving communities, but it can also establish unhealthy patterns when designed poorly.devonzuegel.com
