Transport: what will a fully automated city look like?

Imagine a town or city in which drivers can immerse themselves in a good book at the wheel, while travelling to a pre-set destination. This is exactly what is promised by self-driving cars which, being interconnected, should protect us from accidents caused by human error. So what might a city look like in which all forms of transport are automated?

FutureMag, an innovation magazine produced by TV channel Arte, asked Benjamin Frayssinet, urban geographer at research and planning firm Chronos, for his thoughts on the subject.
