Instead we forced people to own a car and live far away from everything. Single occupancy cars need to be drastically reduced, but not eliminated completely. Getting to a rural farm is an example.
- zaroth 7y agoThis thinking is totally alien to me. The US is a big spread out place that people depend on passenger vehicles almost entirey to get around and go about their life. Over 6 trillion miles were driven in 2017 in the US, the vast majority of that in single occupancy vehicles. Far from being “eliminated completely” or “drastically reduced”, I expect through the power of autonomous driving and EVs designed for 1,000,000 mile lifespans, that passenger-miles number will in fact double by 2030.
