That sounds like it would further increase car dependence in city's, how you see city's improving in this scenario?

oh I'm absolutely not saying this is a good idea. But what I am saying is that it could become politically feasible if tons of money gets poured into self-driving vehicles and they slowly chip away at "open" use of public streets.

Look at what the automobile industry did with "jaywalking" and removal of street cars.
