Isn't really news to anyone who's been looking at the space, but this is a nice distillation of the Uber/Lyft traffic problem: RT Venkatesh Rao @vgr
Just hit me that at say $3/gallon and say 40mpg, it would be cheaper for a self-driving gasoline car to just circle around than park anywhere at more than $3/hr. At say $0.5/mile fully loaded operating cost it’s not worth parking above $20/h.
The loitering car cloud is coming.
