STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • It is simply unfeasible to expand existing roads.
  • It is unrealistic to assume that autonomous vehicles will alleviate congestion any time soon.
  • Scroll down to read the bios of the five Vanderbilt University professors who wrote this article.

The piece was the joint effort of Vanderbilt University faculty members Abhishek Dubey, assistant professor of computer science and computer engineering; Jonathan Gilligan, associate professor of earth and environmental sciences; Craig Philip, director of the Vanderbilt Center for Transportation Research; Daniel Work, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering; and Michael Vandenbergh, David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair of Law.
