Researchers at the University of Texas-Arlington found in a new meta-analysis of 26 earlier studies that vehicle miles traveled would increase if U.S. cities made a major shift away from human-driven automobiles, with the papers collectively predicting about a 6-percent bump in average VMT. Worse, they'd still increase more than 5 percent if people shifted away from personally owned cars towards shared autonomous taxis instead.
