There are innumerable advantages that self-driving electric cars could provide us. Even so, most people still prefer to be in control of their vehicle. This is something that is quickly changing, however, especially among city-dwellers. Steps are being taken every day towards building a future with self-driving electric cars and they will revolutionize the way we go about cities.

There’s something a bit spooky about self-driving cars, though engineers say they will be safer, and waste less fuel than our current car fleet. The uneasiness stems, perhaps, from the illusion driving gives us of being in control. Yet what if the self-driving cars had the added advantage of a) being all electric, b) part of a car sharing pool, and c) they arrived to pick us up when and where we needed them? It is at the intersection between car sharing, electric cars, and autonomous driving a new model for city mobility is taking shape.
