Why This Matters
Autonomous vehicles are on the horizon and could soon become the cheapest, most efficient, and most accessible way to get around. Within just a few years, shared autonomous EVs could:
- Provide universal, on-demand, 24/7, door-to-door service
- Be cheaper and more convenient than both traditional cars and existing public transport
- Reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions
- Perfectly suit Canberra’s low-density, spread-out urban design
