Driverless vehicles already exist. It's called public transit. And its safer and more economical than any automobile-based solution. I'd much rather we invest more in improving, modernizing and greatly expanding our decrepit mass transit systems. Because what we have now leaves much to be desired.
Driverless vehicles, windowless buildings and some other technologies work well in uninhabited cities. It will be something different when introduced to cities with actual people. It may have unforeseen safety issues and people may not like it. It is like what happens when a consumer product works great in the testing lab but flops when introduced to the public.

It appears to be a worthwhile project and experiment.
However, those types of projects are expensive to build, require a lot of land, a lot of investment, and effort put into them.
Building a community from the absolute beginning quickly (whether it is inhabited or not) types of projects could still be created in more places.
Canada and Australia are some of the best places for that since both of those countries have so much available land, and better more stable economies than the USA currently.
China’s rapid astronomical growth sort of did that in a few places in the past few decades.
Shenzhen (a city in Southern China) was one of the fastest growing cities in the world and went from a small fishing village with less than 30,000 people to a huge metropolis with 10 to 11 million people in just around 3 decades from the Late 1970s/Early 1980s to 2012.
Wont this bring more jobs. My question is are we as new mexicans paying for any of it.
