Abstract
The central question of the research is: ‘’How will autonomous cars change the use of space in inner cities?’’ The emerge of the autonomous cars will have big spatial consequences for cities. However, it is not instantly clear what will happen. It is probable that inner cities will only suffer more congestion, it is extremely hard to solve this. However, cities will also experience positive results due to autonomous cars. Less parking space is needed in cities. These vacated spaces can be used for greenery, water, but also for housing. Spatial planners should try to steer the evolution of the autonomous vehicles towards the shared cars scenario instead of the privately owned autonomous vehicle scenario. This to steer the evolution of the autonomous vehicle to the most desirable outcome with minimal congestion and maximum liveability in cities. Governments should encourage shared cars, for example by policy and campaigns
