Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are poised to dramatically reshape the transportation system. They are likely to have significant consequences on urban transportation issues: energy use, vehicle miles traveled, the need for neighborhood parking, the ease of accessing employment, and the incidence of pollution—in both positive and negative directions. Nat
