Should cities designate special lanes for autonomous vehicles?

Yes

Yes, but in the future when autonomous vehicles are more ubiquitous on the road

Not if the vehicles don't have humans inside. This will increase traffic, not improve it. We need public transportation, including trains, light rail, and metro..

The money that would be used for this should be put towards, public transport like trains, light rail systems, metros.

Yes, this can help of safety for people and vehicles.

Yes, but this needs to be a locally led initiative

Yes, but in the future when autonomous cars are more ubiquitous on the road

No autonomous vehicles should not be allowed on public roads until their AI and associated technology are proven to work 100% of the time, including never putting any human in damger

Yes, and they should have physical barriers keeping them from pedestrians and non autonomous vehicles.

If autonomous vehicles do become the norm I'd rather there be strict lanes that only the can drive in so as to keep other drivers safer

I believe that autonomous vehicles should have it posted on the vehicle that it is autonomous instead for those driving around them.

Autonomous vehicles are too new of a concept to even have a special lane. Furthermore, consumers should not have access to that technology until it has been better studied and established.

This is a practical matter of infrastructure management, not a moral or theological one. It falls under the authority of the Assembly of Stewards to create regulatory statutes for modern issues. If designating such lanes proves to be the most efficient and safest way to manage traffic and steward our resources, then it will be done. If not, it will not. This is a question of prudence, not principle.

Until the autonomous vehicle industry isn't controlled by private corporations, we should not build public infrastructure for that

No, we should be focusing on improving the crumbling, outdated and not environmentally friendly infrastructure

Autonomous vehicles should not be allowed on the road until total comprehensive testing is carried out, after which it should be illegal still to drive distracted whilst in a self-driving vehicle.

No, the expansion of autonomous vehicles should take a backseat to urban development that increases environmentally friendly public transportation and creates walkable communities

The government shouldn't be encouraging, subsidizing, or supporting the creation of autonomous vehicles at all.

No, this creates wider roads and likely wouldn't get used enough to warrant the cost, space, and hassle.

Autonomous vehicles should not even be a thing as we are not advanced enough to ensure their total safety

I think all autonomous ideas should be destroyed and that nobody needs to be sitting in a car or be around a car that is driving itself.

At the moment no because there are no autonomous vehicles, but eventually yes if this technology wants to succeed.

No, because we need to know that autonomous vehicles are safe cars, and that they can be in the thick of traffic, in order for them to become a common thing in the future.

Yes because safety reasons as autonomous vehicles are really not that perfect and you would not want accidents like that between an autonomous vehicle and an actual person driving.

No, same with bikes, adding special lanes for different modes of transport only derail the flow of traffic.

Not yet until the autonomous vehicles become the main thing, however by then all non-autonomous vehicles will be mostly gone so they could just use the existing roads.

Not yet, as more testing is still needed to confirm safety of autonomous vehicles on public roads. Cost of these future designated lanes should be charged to companies and individuals needing to use them and should be determined at the city or county level

Yes, but only if it is completely separated from public lanes, no autonomous vehicles should have access to human driven roads and vice versa.

Autonomous vehicles will be more expensive than human driven ones, and segregating traffic will require more roads, more space, and ultimately make driving a classist discrimination.

As technology increases cities can invest in this but it will cost millions to update lanes for this

I do agree this should be a thing but there are people who will take advantage of this and will ruin it for a lot of people so I don't think this should be a thing at the same time

No, but there should be something that labels the car as autonomous. Like a "student driver" sign, you could have something that says "self-driving car"

Yes, autonomous vehicles perform best in a predictable environment and human drivers introduce too much volatility.

Not right now because there are not enough autonomous vehicles to justify reducing available lanes for other cars. Maybe in the future if there are more autonomous vehicles but not right now

The US dose not need to pay for the introduction additional lanes just for autonomous vehicles if they wish to be on the road they must by 100% clear to drive among human drivers and understand the rules and be able to make the best decision possible based of the situation

No, not at least until autonomous vehicle technology is deemed publicly safe by an independent organization, and even then maybe not.

i dont think we should have them cause one wrong thing in there system and it my kill the people in the are or something

No, more effort should be made for universal, easy public transit, and not individual cars for everyone.

Don’t make autonomous vehicles because driving is never that hard, and if you can afford an autonomous car you can afford Uber.

yes, but only if the percentage of autonomous vs human driven cars gets closer to 30% to 70% non-autonomous

City initiatives should be enacted to push for more autonomous transport in order for all vehicles to eventually be autonomous

I think that it would be a decent idea but it should be in specific areas because if you do it in the city it simply will cause more traffic but if its the highway or a long stretch of road I believe it would be a better idea.

We shouldn't have autonomous vehicles in the first place. They're accidents waiting to happen regardless if they have a special lane or not.

No, if they're supposed to fulfill the purpose of a regular vehicle, why do we need to provide special lanes for them?

Yes, eventually. Cities should prioritize the transition to eventually have lanes for autonomous vehicles only. But transition should be gradual to minimize cost and

Yes, and they shouldn't be allowed on the road until they meet government safety standards specifically written for autonomous vehicles

No, autonomous vehicles shouldn’t be allowed at all unless they’re fully tested and run like a human operated car

No. Trains and busses exist. Public transit should be refined well before we consider special spaces for autonomous vehicles.

No. The last thing the US needs is more car lanes. We need viable alternatives to driving such as public transportation and safe biking infrastructure.

It depends. The answer can change drastically depending on where this is to be implemented and how many autonomous vehicles are set to go through the area in question. This likely can be solved by improving other methods of transport as to remove this question from being considered in the first place.

We should add separate roads for semi’s and large trucks, as that is far more important to safety than a stupid tesla

Not until autonomous vehicles share how their self driving technology works and a public centralized network is worked out

Yes, but only if autonomous vehicles actually become good enough to be both safe and widely-used, which is unlikely.

No, In most locations, the widespread installation of special lanes specifically designated for autonomous vehicles has not yet become regular practice

I think if a large amount of them enter society, then yes as a way to promote safety, and also despite the cost and inefficiency it is the best way for society, but I don't support the use of autonomous vehicles.

No, autonomous vehicles that need a special lane show that it is not ready to be used in the real life and should go back to testing.

No. People will violate the lane law and drive in it anyway, whether it is an autonomous vehicle or not

No, because I don't think we should be allowing autonomous vehicles on the road. If they have to be there, they should have their own lane.

Unless autonomous vehicles start to take off and become a major part of the automobile industry, I don't think it would be worth it, so no.

Maybe special roadways altogether. On tracks, with multiple put together. Or just make trains more popular.

I think instead of having autonomous vehicles, we should designate lanes to better, safer, and more convenient public transportation. The current state of public transportation in the U.S. highly disincentives the use of these public transportation methods in favor of cars. With how many lanes there are in so many roads and highways, there's more than enough room to implement good public transportation in many parts of the country.

No, because they are unsafe and should be banned. therfore, services for these vehicles should not be needed

Autonomous vehicles should not be allowed until they are proven to be safe. Then they should be clearly marked.

Designating special lanes for autonomous vehicles can revolutionize urban mobility by reducing congestion, enhancing safety, and boosting technological innovation. Through public-private partnerships, clear regulations, and consumer protection measures, we can create AV lanes that benefit everyone—consumers enjoy faster, safer commutes without extra costs, manufacturers have the opportunity to profit through innovation, and cities gain from reduced traffic and pollution. With transparent oversight and a focus on non-political, data-driven management, we ensure these lanes are a win-win solution, advancing transportation without unnecessary government control or financial burdens on the public.

No, and cities should invest more into public transport than widening roads to include more lanes, specialized or not.

We should not even consider the implementation autonomous vehicles before rigorous testing and implementation of widespread public transportation.

No, autonomous vehicles should not exist. Cars need people to drive them, autonomous cars are too dangerous.

Not exactlly, but maybe make one-lane freeways that go 100 miles per hour for any vehicle, under supervision. (spread 200 feet apart)

Yes only for new construction. Encourage HOV use by autonomous vehiclesDon't reduce current capacity of conventional vehicles.

If companies won't be held legally responsible for faulty autonomous vehicles then those vehicles should not operate in the same spaces as other vehicles.

No, remove autonomous vehicles from the road till they are regulated and safer then human run vehicles

Autonomous vehicles should not be able to be driven anywhere other than a testing environment until they are 100% safe. Thus, there is no need for special lanes currently.

no, autonomous vehicles are not safe in traffic. in addition, it would be more expensive to build and maintain roads with the additional traffic. i am against autonomous vehicles in general.

Not currently, as the number of autonomous vehicles doesn't yet justify major infrastructure changes to accommodate those vehicles.

AI has been a global enhancement for years and we don't really know as to how long the self-driving autonomous vehicles have reduced the human intervention for. So, I am thinking that this bill should not be passed into legislation, yet, since we won't know how it'll prevent accidents from happening. I think that the government should be aware of what autonomous vehicles has to offer in terms of AI. The cities should take part in daily meetings with the chamber of commerce of the US Parliament and the Maricopa County to see what the cities can do to designate the lanes for these types of vehicles.

No, but it's worth looking into in the future whenever autonomous vehicles become just as popular as traditional vehicles.

maybe but only if we hit a certain number of autonomous vehicles that have proven to be 100% autonomous 100% of the time

Not at the current moment. When autonomous vehicles are safer and more widely used, it could be something to start implementing.

Autonomous vehicles and their technologies are not up to safety standards and should not yet be on the road. This topic should be revisited later once technologies have advanced.

No, I believe automated vehicles are too far away to be considered viable for roads, regardless of lane designations.

No, total autonomous vehicles shouldn't be a thing. Cars should be at least partially necessary for physical human interaction

We should do this when the number of autonomous vehicles approaches 1/3 of the general population of cars

No, not until autonomous vehicles have clear and trustworthy reports of success and they are more common on the road.

I would say yes because if something were to happen such a a crash it would not falsley be put as someone else's fault

I'm uncomfortable with the idea of autonomous vehicles altogether. There should be more testing with them, better accuracy, and the capability of human intervention.

Yes, with barriers to prevent accidents until such a time as autonomous vehicles are safe and able to navigate roads effectively.

I think we need to be way further in technology for us to come back on this topic in a more closer time.

Yes, but as long as those vehicles are on a network and would be able to operate faster in an autonomous lane.

there should be special lanes for 18 wheelers, they are crazy and cause too many accidents. They purposely push smaller cars out of their way, even if it means pushing them off the road, they drive on restricted roads and lanes and have no concern for public saftey. I think this needs to be addrssed before auto driving cars. This is a huge issue in this country. They are ruthless!

There just isn't any real reason for them, and if they don't work on the road, they shouldn't be on the road.

Yes, once autonomous vehicles have proven to eliminate traffic accidents I would be in favor of this.

It should be up to the cities and states to determine if this is needed in their areas. There should be no expectation of special lanes in locations that have no autonomous vehicles.

Cities can do what the voters vote for them to do this is too bad of a question, as I'm not going to tell another city what to do.

Cities should stop planning around cars entirely and focus on being navigable without spending $30k+ on a hunk of metal that's going to fall apart in ten years.

Yes, but only if it won't disrupt traffic and if it doesn't reduce the number of lanes and sidewalk space.

No, and personally i think every vehicle should have human control not robotics controlling a vehicle

Yes, only for vehicles which are still in development and cannot be fully automatic due to safety circumstances

Yes, as long as this is implemented in the future where there's enough people using autonomous vehicles to be worth it.

Yes in the beginning until the technology is better proven to work with a both autonomous and manually controlled vehicles.
