Transition

Reference and the 12th

When the CAVWAYs concept was introduced at the 2018 ASCE Transportation and Development Conference (reference * at right), the comments and questions related primarily to the issue of transition; how does Davius envision that we will get to CAV Systems from where we are today?
Transition means building a clear path from trailhead to destination. Of course, life is a journey and our destination is a moving target, but a working, sustainable CAV System is a reasonable milestone. Davius' Tenth Commandment at right tells us to start soon, otherwise time windows will narrow and close. Transition steps are easiest when they offer immediate value and set the stage for change. Examples are included in the transition links at right. General comments
CAVWAYs will host public-service CAVs such as buses, limos, and taxis, commercial vehicles which meet standards, and private Dual-mode vehicles (see transition). |
Davius' Tenth Commandment
Figure out where you're going; then start transition.
