The future is civic design around people rather than cars, and that's a threat to Tesla and GM alike
- DannyBee 12y ago"The future is civic design around people rather than cars," In what way? Trying to change social behavior (americans like cars) is ridiculously hard.
- BrainInAJar 12y agoBy providing incentives for multimodal transport (building bike lanes, improving public transport) and removing the incentives to drive (free parking, ever widening roads inducing demand, mandatory parking in the building codes) It's actually quite easy to change people's social behaviour through a very small number of minor modifications to zoning. Copenhagen was very car oriented until the 70's when they decided to change it, and now it's a model of a car-lite city

I 100% do not buy this would work in the US :) There are huge culture differences. Can you cite any example of a large US city where it has worked? A bunch of them have tried, AFAIK.
