1. Some cities are calmly industrious like Dusseldorf or Louisville. Others project an energy that they can hardly contain, like New York or Hong Kong. And then, you have Paris or Istanbul and their patina full of history. I see cities as living beings and when I discover them from far above, I like to find those main streets and highways that structure our space, especially at night when commuters make these arteries look dramatically red and golden. The city's vascular system performing its vital function right before your eyes.
2. In the US alone we spent 29.6 billion hours commuting in 2014. With that amount of time ancient Egyptians could have built 26 pyramids of Giza. We do that in one year. A monumental waste of time, energy and human potential.
3. I think we can create vehicles that combine the convenience of cars and the efficiency of trains and buses.
4. Would we need traffic lights? Would we need lanes? How about speed limits? Red blood cells are not flowing in lanes. They never stop at red lights. In the first driverless cities, you would have no red lights and no lanes. And when all the cars are driverless and connected, everything is predictable and reaction time minimum. They can drive much faster, and can take any rational initiative that can speed them up of the cars around them.
