Pigouvian road congestion pricing under autonomous driving mode choice
Abstract
Impact of car automation technology choice on congestion pricing and vice versa. Generalized user cost curve depends on automation technology choice equilibrium. MSC may no longer be convex in traffic flow even under `normally congested́ traffic. Imposition of congestion tolls may cause drivers to abandon autonomous technologies. Advanced autonomous driving capabilities will make congestion pricing more complex.
