Yeah, people here are ridiculously addicted to cars, even in inner city regions. Ridiculous.

> Will we have better cars that are less polluting, safer, even self driving?

Sure, whatever. Considering the huge amount of pollution that goes into just creating the car, it is silly to talk about less polluting. Safe? Yeah, that why the road toll is going up. Self driving? Can't come soon enough, since people are incapable of concentrating long enough and are too selfish to drive safely.

Private cars are a stupid idea, and have caused way more problems.
