> heavy electric vehicles have a lot more tire dust
It would be interesting to know the fleet-level statistics for this. Driven by humans, EV might wear tires faster because of fast starts and the extra weight during stops. It's possible that the Waymo Driver accelerates and decelerates more smoothly, resulting in less tire wear than a human-driven ICE vehicle.
That would be great! Even if EV pollution is zero, cars still take up a lot of space in a city where space is very limited.
