In this report on AVs in Australia, Austroads paints both positive and negative scenarios（场

41、景）for the future.The positive scenario suggests that AVs could reduce car ownership and use thanks to a large number of shared and connected AVs. But for this scenario to work, AVs must be shared and not privately owned and there must be a good enough public transport（运输）system, which is not the pre

42、sent situation in most Australian cities, suggesting its unlikely that the arrival of AVs will reduce our dependence on private cars. I once spoke to a group of car owners working outside the centre of Sydney, who used their cars to do all kinds of things. They saw their cars as spaces of climate-co

43、ntrolled comfort, where they could have time alone, away from busy lives.

46、to work, drop them off, take itself home, only to return when the driver orders it to come at the end of the day. That makes a 20 km a day or a 40 km a day. And imagine that for millions of households across the city.In addition, AVs will ensure that time in the car is more pleasurable and useful. B

47、eing stuck in a traffic jam might not be such a pain if you could be working, reading, watching a movie, having a coffee with friends, playing with the dog, or starting Friday night drinks early.So, when considering the influence of AVs, we need to be careful. The automotive（机动车辆的）industry is powerf
