  2. A potential downside to this would be that traffic becomes yet another thing that is managed from above, rather than something that is available for pretty much anyone who holds a job. It could easily become a tool for a monopoly corporation or an authoritarian state to use against the interests of their citizens. So you are trying to protest? Nope, not gonna happen. Your car will not go to that meeting place you agreed on. You are journalist reporting on the wrong-doings of your government? Well, now your car is going to a special place where few journalists return from. We have to think about what can go wrong too, before we do away with our perhaps most important means to freedom of mobility.
