The document discusses the potential impacts and implications of automated vehicles (AVs) and shared mobility on transportation systems and urban planning. It describes several issues with the current personal vehicle paradigm such as traffic congestion, pollution, and wasted resources. It then outlines how AVs and shared mobility services could help address these issues by reducing the number of vehicles needed and changing models from personal ownership to shared use. The document presents several scenarios for what transportation might look like in different cities circa 2030 with widespread adoption of AVs and shared mobility."
