I personally would prefer it, too – I actually don’t own a car, and live in a european city (Kiel, Germany) ;)<p>I’m trying to look at it from the american perspective, because I’ve long given up the hope that any non-american perspective is even considered relevant on here.<p>Actually, self-driving cars, while nice, won’t really improve your abilities inside the city – you’ll still use bus, metro, etc.<p>The &quot;transport hub at edge of the city&quot; is already a common concept over here, called &quot;Park+Ride&quot;, with parking spots usually at places which have bus stations and train stations or metro stops.
