I think you're being a bit unfair. We all agree that they're useful, but surely in a world win which we need to
a) reduce road and parking space in order to encourage better forms of transportation ,
b) reduce our consumption of natural resources
,maybe we need to discourage individual ownership of 3000kg utility vehicles?
- criddell 5y agoIn the US, discouraging individual ownership of vehicles is probably not going to succeed. I don't want to give up my car and I suspect that electric vehicles and self driving vehicles (when they get here) are going to drive the cost of trips way, way down which will increase the number of trips by a similar amount. The number of vehicles on the road is going to increase. Because of the increased demand on raods, reducing road space probably won't happen. When cars can get to and from parking spaces by themselves, parking space can move into central towers or edge lots, but the number of spaces is probably going to increase, not decrease. We all want better forms of transportation, but there's a lot of disagreement about what's better.

SUV's and pickups are so popular in the US because most cities are more similar to Houston and LA than NYC or Chicago.
