Everytime the girls talks a really ugly city ladybug like vehicle appears
 Evolution will be necessary obivously, but i don't like the idea of us all living together in small spaces driving little cute and round "buzzy" electric cars. I'll take the less efficient outskirts thx  |

Yawn...
I want my 6 minutes back. They posed questions and options answered in every sci-fi movie of the 20th and 21st century. Can anyone say cars from Minority Report? Transportation within cities needs to change. It makes no sense having a city full of taxis, all with 1 person in each of them. It just doesn't make any sense. Parking also needs to be changed - but we're talking about multi-billion or trillion dollar projects in a time where people are scrutinizing every tax penny. It addresses the city question - but unlike what the google woman says - I beg to differ - I find it quite enjoyable to get in my car and commute to work. I live 25 miles from my job, and I wouldn't change my commute 1 bit. I get to enjoy my car, my music, and the joy of driving. I'm sure I'm not alone there. |
