    Self driving cars are expected to bring cost per mile way down. That is a problem.

    I don't see enough people discussing the congestion that may be caused by AV's driving costs per mile way down, or a way to make parking a vehicle cheaper the driving it on the road to prevent cars from driving empty. So I thought I might share a possible way in which these things may be arranged. I posted something similar in r/ethereum but you don't need to be a blockchain fan to understand that we need a neutral platform to implement such a solution what ever that platform may be, I am merely suggesting that ethereum could be a possible platform.

    A lot of the traffic that may be caused by unnecessary trips can be minimized by monetizing roads. Currently, the only way to do this is through tollgates. Etherem, however, enables micro payments. What if, with using a mapping protocol plugged into ethereum (accurate to the ft2, such a map already is being developed), we can charge cars by streaming roads. This works very well in an electric and/or self driving future since you cannot tax electricity differently for cars than you can for regular use. It also works much better than the gasoline tax which does not differentiate between congested and uncongested routes, and can adjust the price according to the time of day. A scheme like this would also highly encourage the use of public transit instead of a personal automobiles. Buses, for example, would get a discount in peak hours since they carry larger numbers in a relatively small footprint. Same can be applied to lorries and trucks. Charge can be increased or decreased at will. An Internet of things or IOT automobile can be filled with currency, and it will display the charges on the nearby roads, you could also get an estimate if you log in your destination. There is no need for siloed companies and city administrations to communicate with one another, as it all happens on the public blockchain which is neutral and free for all to use.

    The way this would be enforced is by using IOT enabled radar devices which cross check their own location and the location of the IOT automobile with the blockchain mapping protocol and check for the presence of payment coming from the location of the automobile.

    I don't see how the solution for this problem can come from apple or microsoft, not all countries are as big or well connected to their surrounding as the US, and creating this infrastructure on a public blockchain enables easy cross border movement and funnels fees to the municipality the owns the road directly, so there is no need for coordination between different cities and neighborhoods. You can also imagine how this works in community and privately owned roads.
