Not workable. Manhattan and London have viable alternatives to driving, namely, their transit systems. Your proposal doesn’t fix the last mile, which for Toronto, is especially egregious.

I like the thinking though.

Anyone notice that Halifax is spelt 3 different ways in the article?

My personal favourite is Hailfox.

One animal is a koala. The other is a kangaroo. Both uniquely Australian. (The frog could be from anywhere)

From the opposing position, my last three companies have placed me in the position of automating necessary tasks just to keep up with the task list, with absolutely zero support from the applicable Dev team. What’s worse, I’ve had tickets in for ~19 months requesting minimum necessary business and functional requirements, and I get passed around like a bloody hot potato.

My choice becomes, fail in my role, or try to spin up some automation myself. The second choice is the less-worse outcome.

That your company has an in-house software dev team is impressive. Does the revenue-generating business have access to that team?
