I heard an estimate that something like 25% of traffic in some areas at a given time are just people driving around looking for a parking spot. That's just nuts!

It really remains to be seen what self driving cars would do to traffic.

In the future, the car will just circle the block while you shop.

Sounds like an immense waste of energy, energy that can be better utilized.

The more I hear about self driving cars the more I wish the US government would take investment into public transportation seriously.
