#2Interesting lists. Sadly, at the moment all the city links seem to be broken so I'm not sure what's supposed to be there.

#4I remember the transport minister of India claiming that he would ban self-driving cars to protect the jobs of drivers. No city in India is even close to ready for self driving vehicles.

#7IMO, making it easier to drive will increase the number of people who commute. There isn’t enough space to add extra lanes to facilitate the increase in traffic these vehicles will cause. I think we should be working on other transportation problems.

#8That’s not “getting ready for”, it’s “experimenting with”.
Also, cities (mostly) shouldn’t have to “get ready” for self-driving cars; self-driving cars should start self-driving in current cities.

#9Ottawa just became the first Canadian city to have a self-driving car actually on the road. It should be on the list.

At the same time, self driving cars could use the roads more efficiently (once they make up most traffic).
I think you're generally right though. I know if I had a self driving car, I'd move further out of the city. If it adds to my commute time, I won't care if I can do other things while I commute (work, read, write, sleep, etc...).
