Publisher's summary

The Real Case for Driverless Mobility: Putting Driverless Vehicles to Use for Those Who Really Need a Ride explores solutions for providing mobility for the unserved/underserved, including those who cannot drive themselves, afford transport alternatives, or who live in areas where neither public nor private transport is offered. The book synthesizes the career-long activities of the authors and the Princeton SmartDrivingCars Summits and assesses whether cars without drivers can deliver an affordable and more effective alternative to mass transit and taxis.

A high percentage of the residents in many U.S. cities are poor, and the jobs that remain are often not easily reached by public transit systems which struggle to deliver a minimum level of service with their limited budgets. The SDC Summits were initiated in 2017 by Alain Kornhauser to attempt to address this problem. This book presents the problem and the proposed solution in a form that can be used by a wide audience and help build a constituency, both for the proof of concept and for an eventual implementation in many cities and towns in North America and other parts of the world.

Professionals, investors, researchers and students alike will find this book a valuable exploration of how driverless technology can be applied to personal transport that can be used by a large sub-group of the population who are not currently served by automobile transport and are poorly served by public transport solutions.

Takes a perspective from the demand side focused on the have-nots and on assessing and designing the technology to start there and grow

Looks at how to start small, achieve success, and evolve to scale, with an emphasis on affordability

Discusses automated vehicles from a multidisciplinary perspective with each chapter touching on a unique issue related to AVs

Great assessment of mobility needs

This book puts our current mobility challenges in historical context. It is clear in its scope: the need to increase the supply of transportation options available to people who cannot afford a car. The book explains that no new technological breakthrough is required to make affordable mobility a reality. It concludes by sharing the initial steps taken to connect with the community in Trenton to launch the initial proof of concept.
