Car tires shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment. Urgent action is needed
Electric cars are not THE solution.

We need flying hover cars. Imagine if we could get rid of all the cement and asphalt everywhere. Also no more traffic jams.
A sci-fi nerd can dream.
The inherent problem of any car at all is that people should never personally need a personal vehicle worth thousands to tens of thousands of dollars to buy milk and eggs.
And only 1000x the energy usage!
And dramatically reducing crash survival rates.
And even maybe creating a sort of car-Kessler syndrome.
these will never be a thing. Noise
Just need room temp super magnets so that the cars can “float” at a particular level of the magnetosphere. Don’t worry Mlon Eusk is about five minutes away from personally cracking that physics problem and will be selling cars utilizing it for generational debt tomorrow./s
Nah man, we need the tubes. Hop in a tube pod and ride the tubes to any destination.
We can move the tubes more efficiently by making them large enough for many people, then chaining the various tub- hold up we invented trains again
Revolutionary!!
Do they at least look like crabs?
Great idea! So long as the current safety laws for aviation are followed. That would disqualify most people from flying and dramatically reduce the number of personal vehicles in use.
We need a strict speed limit. 30mph should be enough for everybody.
No chance this will ever happen though.
No chance Louis XVI would have given the people of France a decent standard of living either. Things change when enough people can no longer tolerate how they are or how they are going.
