We've gone from 5,000 miles per year, to 10,000 miles per year to 15,000 miles per year being common, we are not seeing people who drive 20,000 and 30,000 miles per year! do we really need to be wasting that much fuel on personal transportation??? If you can't drive your own car take public transit, I live in a town of 15,000 people and we have public transit and part of that is a few buses that will pick you up at your door if you are elderly or disabled, there is even an online route map allowing you to see where the bus you want to catch is so you don't have to stand outside in the cold waiting for it!
That is what I would like to see, not every single person, no matter their age or ability ridding around in their own personal pod.
We need to find ways to make better uses of our resources, not figure out ways to use them up faster!
