Yeah, the magic self driving cars that will drastically decrease traffic on roads while also not needing parking lots and being super affordable for all.
In all seriousness, we're really not far from the majority of the population not working. I know it sounds crazy, but automation has this way closer than I think people realize. As more and more people get automated out of jobs, the less traffic there will be.
We will also have self driving cars which will help with traffic as well.
The "Triangle Housing Market" is segmented in multiple ways, by price and location.
Broad questions elicit broad answers that are right, wrong, and not applicable.
The question I think is whether we'll ever get to full automation (zero human control whatsoever) - think it's widely accepted on fixed track (automated trains at airports for example) but out on the road with interaction between many different vehicles? That'll be interesting to see.

I don't see why it wouldn't get to that point - it will be a gradual process though. If you look at how fast technology has progressed (in general) over the past 20 years or so, it seems perfectly feasible.
We already have self driving technology(with zero human control). Self driving Ubers in Pittsburgh for example (manned with humans as a backup). It's not perfect technology yet, but it's advancing quickly.
Once the technology is proven, it'll take a while for traditional vehicles to be phased out. But I think it will happen sooner than we think.
What? Nobody is going to commute 4 hours to work, even if the car drives itself. If the job is remote, they won't be commuting to Charlotte?
Maybe not 4 hours point is it will sure as hell make it easier to live further out when traffic is reduced... you can relax and ride ... or go to sleep maybe ?

I guess I don't understand at that point what the big deal is about sprawl. I don't really get the complaints as it is - not everyone can live within 10 minutes of a city core, nor does everyone want to.
