Huge changes are ahead for the automobile. Most Americans, and to some extent, Eugene's draft Transportation System Plan, do not take this into account. The TSP largely overlooks driverless cars, for example.  This oversight is a missed opportunity to influence how driverless cars will become used in Eugene and overlooks innovative solutions to today's transportation problems made possible by technology advances. Driverless cars can lead either to increased or decreased traffic. Future city laws can be envisioned that discourage vehicle parking and limit time durations when a driverless car is unoccupied. Such laws may seem strange now when individual car ownership is the norm. However, they can promote shared use of driverless cars and entrepreneurial opportunities. They reduce the need to own a car, make available land now used for parking, and allow roadway reconfigurations to better accommodate pedestrians and bicycles.
