AMSTERDAM
Location: On the east coast of the Netherlands
Size: 84.6 square miles
Population: 844,947
For years, the city of cyclists has been forwardthinking on creating a carless culture. But now,
city officials are realizing that the congested city
will have to be more aggressive in its efforts to
keep its roads moving swiftly.
"We have no extra space," said Tijs Roelofs,
smart mobility manager for Amsterdam. "The
urgency to do things in a different way is
increasing."
What does a city already so reliant on alternative forms of transportation do to experiment with new mobility models? Amsterdam
officials have commissioned studies on traffic
flow and how pedestrians interact with moving
vehicles. The results inform city planning in
a region locked in by its famed canals, allowing officials to make smart choices to reduce
blockages and create spaces friendly to those
who prefer to walk.
Davis said Columbus officials have been to
the Netherlands several times, also traveling to
Eindhoven, to learn from the Dutch about economic development initiatives.

Pittsburgh has much to envy. The city is home
to Carnegie Mellon University, one of the top
robotics institutions in the country, so it has
become a hub for core automation work. Most
notably, Uber's Advanced Technology Group is
based in Pittsburgh, after poaching Carnegie
Mellon researchers to jumpstart its self-driving
program.
But that doesn't mean local leaders have
nothing to complain about. Mayor Bill Peduto
has raised warning flags for Uber after the
company failed to deliver on promises of job
and economic development in the city. The
company has also tussled with locals who have
spied its self-driving vehicles making illegal
turns and running red lights.
