Oh, and just on self-driving cars--the industry momentum behind them is very fast indeed:

This is the biggest threat to efforts at increasing public transport use and non-motorised mobility. The car industry is hoping to build on the technology for a revival of its flagging fortunes. Once the complaints about air pollution and road safety in cities are removed, the futuristic impetus towards motorised hypermobility will receive a huge boost again. You only have to look at the bonkers road-building plans already announced for London how serious the threat is.
