Cars are wonderful. They take you from A to B without having to book a ticket, change train, wait for a schedule, or pay atrociously high fees. You can take friends with you, and luggage, or even live in them (see here).
 
 But cars bring on a lot of issues: parking in the city is a pain; we waste months in traffic jams; and accidents injure or kill people. It’s not safe to drive after a beer, or when you’re tired, or when it’s raining.
 
 When we look into the future, we don’t see cars. Surely something will come along and replace them. Maybe flying shuttles, 5th element style? Or rail-bound mini-trains, as seen in I, robot? Hyperloops all over the planet?
 
 My prophecy is different.
