Higher School of Economics University (HSE) researchers have assessed the effects of self-driving cars on the city of Moscow. In their study, Alexei Zomarev and Maria Rozhenko presented predictions for 2030 and 2035 based on an appropriate analysis for the city of Moscow…

Zomarev and Rozhenko created models of how Moscow will look in the near future. Based on official city strategies and available data regarding the number of passengers per car, auto sales, the efficiency of road networks, and so on, the researchers created four scenarios for 2030 and 2035:

Stagnation
Shared Use
Robotisation
Absolute Mobility.
