What do you see happening?
Fully autonomous on-demand vehicles should have a true impact on congestion, but even that will not make urban commuting sensible. The answer has to be much better public transport, coupled with on-demand for the "last mile". We won't see it in action, but it seems to be in the planning stages already. Maybe we will see it, but only in the movies.
