    Sure, but if people are moving away from one thing and “hopefully toward” something, I’d hope it’s toward a situation where they don’t need a car at all. I think electric bikes and those electric scooters could be a revolution for transportation in this country, seeing as they’re great for making those less than 3 mile trips that make up half of all trips made by car (and if you expand that out to 6 miles, you’re at almost 70% of trips made by car). So maybe you don’t live in a huge dense city, but if you live within a few miles of everything you need, you could get this super cheap and efficient electric vehicle instead of a car, or at least downsize from a two-car household to a one-car household.
