Autonomous Vehicles & Congestion Pricing

Autonomous Vehicles & Congestion Pricing


In existing congestion pricing, most programs either identify a core part of the city or specific zones within the city to institute a flat or variable rate fee on vehicles that drive into the specified areas. Variable pricing captures the usage throughout the city could lead to different decision-making by autonomous vehicles. Variable pricing increases as traffic increases, thereby pushing some drivers-or in the future self-driving vehicles-off the road and making cars glide more smoothly.
