The following entry is a collection of predictions, considerations and open-ended exploration about the nature and speed of arriving Self-Driving Car technology in Tasmania, Australia.

Conjoined consideration with adoption of electric based car and truck fleets in Tasmania to vary future modellings of carbon output.

• Frequency of use and scale of use of current Tasmanian vehicular consumption
• Modelling truck use in Tasmania
• Carbon output in present terms – from Australia Bureau of Statistics
• Use % of cars in Tasmania
• Autonomous Car Summoning efficiency increase %’s
• Amelioration of inner-city car clustering – modelled from time-spent-hunting-for-parking
• Length and purpose of trip data
• Critical car%-as-part-of-population tipping points – Metcalfe’s Law
• Rideshare acceptance %
• Incidences of abuse
• Cost of electricity and storage

Predictions:

Adoption of self-driving cars as fleet vehicles

Reallocation of taxi economy

Transport of elderly, disabled

Overnight travel
