Hi Stavros. I would never say OMG—dont believe in deities—and I feel sorry that it came out that way. I was commenting on the GP, which was suggesting alternative ways to get similar effects to those of car-free cities, but in alternative ways. Of those possible ways, to my suprise, the large conveyor belt seemed an interesting possible next step. EVs are not reducing polution in modern cities, unfortunately. They are still way better than gas burning vehicles for a lot of reasons, including CO2 reduction, but as per studies by the Economist they are currently worse on air pollution in cities, unfortunately, due to their typical extra weight, so once we optimize life in cities, we probably want to find ways to reduce their weight and speed, and currently the straightforward solution is to reduce their numbers. As people start obsessing with detecting microplastics in the next decade, these types of changes in city life vs rural life exposure might become even more dramatic.
