• Another thought on the car ownership culture conversation:

    For me, public transport / cycling will never be the route to significantly reducing car ownership and reclaiming road sides, house frontages etc.

    That goal lies with the ubiquity of driverless cars and them becoming a shared resource that people use by the journey, not by the car purchase. The classic Demolition Man model.

    It seems to me that the companies that are pursuing innovative EVs are the same ones that are pursuing AI driverless tech. And that I'm on that tech path by driving an EV.

  • They do naff all for congestion in built-up areas though.

    An EV is just a car with a less (locally) polluting drive train. Everything else is marketing wank.

    You're replying to my post about driverless cars?

    They do loads for congestion, once you move to a model where people don't own cars and park empty, stationary cars on the side of the streets anymore.
