In the age of autonomous cars and algorithmic transportation, cities transform from gridlocked streets into a lush paradise. The Loop NYC city ushers in an era of dedicated thoroughfares for self-driving vehicles – “micro-highway loops” repurposed from major streets. With newfound pedestrian space, inhabitants & tourists alike enjoy 24 new miles of walkable area totaling 200+ acres of parks. Loop NYC is a new framework for civic interaction, cultural enrichment, environmental resiliency, and equitable economic growth – fueled by the advent of autonomous vehicles.
