When I'm in Berlin or London, I much prefer the mass transit to dealing with a car. It's faster, more convenient, and I don't have to deal with parking or the stress of traffic.

I used to live in NYC, and I miss enormously (among other things) the connivence of the NYC subway. I've taken many times more Lyfts in the past few months than I did in years in NYC (including taxis).

Now imagine when autonomous cars take away the parking and traffic stress.

In ten years I don't expect there to be many place I'm going to bother taking a train in. Tokyo's are good enough, but that's a high bar.

Uber already spoils me too much to want to take the subway on Manhattan (crossing the river is a different story).

I don't think we should assume autonomous cars will reduce traffic stress. http://www.businessinsider.com/self-driving-cars-traffic-con...
