Please post my "invention" you refer to. Unless of course you're still claiming a growth in urban centers.... instead of a well documented flight from urban centers. Because then you just want to exchange links... which makes for crappy threads.
I get the impression... you're just being adversarial. I don't think I want to play.

Lot's of good ideas but not going to happen widespread in our lifetime outside limited implementation in bigger cities. Can't even keep our basic infrastructures up to date including roads and all that comes with it.

In my prediction thread I suggested autonomous vehicles of the future will have fully discrete enclosed compartments with separate entrances to address privacy/safety concerns.

It might be half the cost, or less, if several riders going from close to point A, to close to point B, were picked up by the same vehicle, And perhaps a lot more convenient too, if you will have to wait a lot longer for a solo vehicle compared to a shared one.

Personally, I feel I get more freedom and convenience from being carfree than I do chained to cAR ownership.

I prefer my current life where a car would be an unnecessary expense. The traveling I do is then more enjoyable, interesting, healthy, adventurous, living-clean, and in keeping with my concern for natural resources and our environment.

Kalanic is a visionary. He is also a historian and saw how the past could have changed the world if only we had let the free market dictate the future of motorized transport. It took 100 years, but technology is now going to do what should have been done a generation ago by removing the need to buy a personal automobile.
I can only hope to see that day.
