In a new podcast, RFF Fellow Benjamin Leard brings us up to speed on the current state of self-driving car technology and discusses his recent research into how much of a premium consumers are willing to pay for autonomous vehicles.
We also touch on possible ramifications for vehicle pollution, traffic congestion, and the taxi- and freight-driving workforces.
