The Texas State Capitol building stands in Austin, Texas, U.S., on Thursday, June 2, 2016. Steve Adler, Austin s mayor, thinks he can put his stamp on the city by burnishing its reputation as an exciting playground for experiments in urban transportation. One of his political priorities is to seek millions in federal funding to promote a so-called smart city plan based on autonomous buses, sensors that know which parking spaces are available and, yes, a culture of ridesharing.
