We Could Be The Last Car-Owning Generation, Says Transportation Secretary Foxx
That is the title of an article that describes what was discussed about the future of automobiles at the 2016 Frontiers Conference.
“The White House’s first-ever Frontiers Conference is underway in Pittsburgh, gathering ideas across science, technology, and robotics. Which now also includes transportation. The Urban Transportation Future panel discussed issues related to driverless cars and an autonomous future.”
What was once branded as an “extremist conspiracy theory” is now a conspiracy fact.
“[My wish] is that people can imagine not owning cars,” said Chase, stressing the idea of driverless vehicles not just replacing personal cars but offering an alternative to ownership altogether. Chase continued, asking the audience to imagine, “a completely shared transportation system where they don’t spend 18 percent of their household income on their car. Once we have people imagining it, then we’ll push to make it happen.”
