ABSTRACT: SocialCar integrates carpooling with existing transportation modes in urban and peri-urban areas. The system is based on algorithms that plan routes for users and rely on a considerable amount of heterogeneous data. Social networks also play a role. Autonomous vehicles are emerging and will revolutionize transport. We try to understand the impact they could have in a system like SocialCar.
KEYWORDS: Urban mobility, carpooling, public transportation, autonomous vehicles, self/driving cars, social media.
