Nice point, Chris. But personal motoring really is not about getting places; it is an obsession that seems almost impossible to break. Looked at in that light, the most dangerously habituating substance of the 20th century was gasoline. Maybe autonomous vehicles will help. I hope so. Reply
“…personal motoring really is not about getting places…” Ummm, yes it is. If there was a way to travel on a bike as quickly, safely, and comfortably as a car most people would do it. But there isn’t. Reply
