We don’t just need electric cars, we need fewer cars - Greenpeace International

Ever since the first production car rolled off the assembly line more than 100 years ago, our love affair with automobiles has grown and grown.

Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.

    Yes. I’ve been saying for years that electric cars and self driving cars are solving the wrong problem. The problem is if I need a car to get groceries. The problem is I’m not safe on the street because of all the cars.

    People who have never lived someplace that doesn’t need a car are very eager to tell you how it won’t work, though.

      The roads here are so wide (usually 6 lanes plus turn lanes and a median) that we could build wall2wall apartments/condos/flats on on half of the road and still have enough road left for 3-4 lanes of traffic and a detached dedicated bike path and sidewalks.

      Cars take up way more space than people realize.
