Summary:

Changing the we pay for transport.  People who drive more pay more, drive less pay less.  Winners and losers but everyone wins from less congestion.  Impact of AVs will likely be more congestion. Electric cars, no more fuel excise.  It will be inevitable that charges will be introduced. Differential for types of streets.  Pay more where it is more congested. Discussion highlighted the difficulty of the politics of a new tax.
