Sure, the robot thing is cool, but the more interesting part is the brunt of the article. That snippet from Curtis Faith is very thought provoking.
I have doubts about whether or not it'll actually work without top-down coordination. At the very least, as long as it's cheap and easy for people to do stuff they want (e.g. drive somewhere), then they're free to do so. That won't change, unless it becomes not cheap anymore (could be any kind of not-cheap-state-of-being: gas tax, environmental restrictions, whatever).
