The autonomous vehicle is a game changer, not least because the traditional differences between the various modes of transport become indistinct as an autonomous vehicle can be everything, in principle: a private car, a taxi, a bus, a car-sharing vehicle or a shared taxi. To express it dramatically: the autonomous vehicle could be part of the public transport system – but it could also seriously threaten the existence of today’s public and long-distance transport: The autonomous vehicle can threaten the existence of public transport because it makes driving much more attractive.

Introduction Cambridge has a vibrant, expanding economy. The University, and the high-tech businesses and spin-offs which surround it, combine to make the city-region one of the UK’s top growth hot-spots and one of the greatest entrepreneurial clusters outside Silicon Valley. This climate of economic success has created great pressure on the Local Authorities to provide more high quality residential and working space in and around the city. But, in a crowded space that already experiences acute congestion problems, this poses serious challenges for the city’s transport planners. As a result, the County Council and its partners in the City Deal have begun to examine all possible options as they develop their future transport strategy for the city and its surrounding sub-region.
