I wasn't able to read the article. It was completely blank in my browser.
Could you say who is saying that we should remove cars from a city, even to the point that it would kill the city?

It's quite likely that your commute will get longer than 23 minutes as autonomous vehicles remove the barriers to driving and encourage more people to drive, thus increasing congestion.

Yeah, but you’ll be able to use all that wait time consuming ads!

I was thinking that. Even the title implies cites need saving whereas in reality they are growing merrily - it's the isolated small towns that need saving if anything.
