A team of planning and design specialists at the University of San Francisco and California Polytechnic State University has developed an innovative tool with which anybody can plan infrastructure for when autonomous vehicles become part of our everyday lives.

ReStreet can be accessed by everybody and people with engineering knowledge can submit designs of their reimagining of streetscapes. Offering one urban and one suburban template, ReStreet “could be really powerful in democratizing what Lyft did in LA,” says William Riggs, an assistant professor at the University of San Francisco. With ReStreet, the public can voice their favorite version of future streetscapes.
