The Reason Foundation has an axe to grind, and a story to sell.

They admit that created an environment for connected and autonomous vehicles is going to take a whole pile of new infrastructure to work. Rather than abandoning their ideological anchor that the personal automobile is a good thing, they suggest that places should 'compete' to soften regulations and install infrastructure, in order to support this new mobility option. Which is public subsidy of private consumption, for a select group (owners of CAVs), and to hell with anyone else.
