Comment on Egregoria: 3D City Builder without a grid

Comments

Has anyone used any of these sims to try model what a city may be like with autonomous vehicles.

Or, specifically, for lack of a better term, a city(s) where all transportation is done through a ride sharing system, including autonomous vehicles and mass transit.

I’m guessing it’s a combination traffic and economic sim (to deal with issues like surge pricing).

But maybe it could examine questions like:

  * do autonomous vehicles reduce the overall number of vehicles. 
  * lower necessary street capacity. 
  * can parking be moved outside the city center (for example overnight parking when demand is lowest and cars are idle/charging). 
  * how do pedestrian patterns change. 
Etc.

I think grand theft auto has had a bunch of AI vehicles use it as visual training data
