dull side of driverless cars double edged sword.
The advent of driverless cars will have a profound impact on the way our society is organized. That will create pressure for urban sprawl. If it becomes feasible to live far from the city center, people will flock to the exurbs. They will build bigger houses and want to cut down more forests, putting pressure on our natural resources and requiring government curbs in order to avoid excessive destruction of natural habitats. That is sure to become a contentious political issue. via chicago tribune
