As the emerging mobility options are being implemented in many areas around the country, the benefits and limitations of new systems such as Uber, Lyft, Scooters, Ollie, and other driverless shuttles are becoming understood. Another driverless technology, podcars—currently known as automated transit networks (ATN) from the 1970s—are seeing a modern resurgence in many locations around the world and provide public small vehicles, sustainable automated transit, even solar powered. However, the challenge of how to design the physical environment so that ATN can be fully utilized is minimally explored or understood beyond innovative visions from the 1970s. We can create Complete Connectivity with ATN. Several approaches to explore to meet Complete Connectivity are how can we adapt the existing infrastructure for ATN, create new infrastructure, and what would a sustainable community based solely on ATN look like? We need robust discussions and multiple visions as we struggle with future visions that work for all of us to have full connectivity in our built environment.
