Scenario 2: CAVs Tamed by Policy and People Due to international commitments to dramatically improve climate conditions and reduce the consumption of land and resources, governments have implemented effective measures on transportation to significantly decrease traffic volumes (e.g., road pricing) Read the entire page →

This means that without explicit policies aimed at integration and inclusion, segregation is likely to continue. Read the entire page →
