No cars were to be seen. I don't know if this idea was from the book or if it was unique to this film version. I found that prediction rather interesting.
I mentioned this in a thread a few years ago. The fact that everyone was using bikes to get around was pretty cool but then they had to turn around and blow up the moon.
