You still haven't answered my question - what will happen when highways will reach capacity and pollution will become crazy (either from driving or manufacturing/recycling emissions?

We get to watch the Mennonites go past us with their horse and buggies.

Pollution problem is easy to solve, we have bottled water so why not bottled air.

Yep, we drink bottled water while Pickering nuclear plant is using water from one of the best drinking water lakes in the world. Air is definitely next.

I'm don't think you understand the point pf driverless cars because your question isn't making sense to me. The short answer is that any Increase in congestion or pollution will cause people to commute less, and governments to restrict emissions more. The same as happens now.

However the real point is that driverless cars will trigger a massive reduction in both congestion and pollution as they become more widespread, and even at full maturity the driverless system may never reach the levels of traffic and pollution that we have now.

WTF? A car is a car, whether it has a driver or not. It still needs a road. The advantage of driverless car is that theoretically you can reduce distance between cars on the highway to zero, so basically you can probably triple the total number of cars on the highway. And then what?
And how in the world you will reduce the pollution by removing drivers from cars? I'm not sure what grade you're in, but there is a law of conservation of energy - if you need to move something, you need to spend energy doing that - e.g. you need to burn fuel.
I'm sure the moment our government will further restrict emissions and raise emission taxes, we will all start riding antigravity hovercrafts, which do not consume any energy, to work.

I see you've given this a lot of thought. Like almost a minute.

The point is that trasportation as we know is about to undergo a revolution the scale of the old horseless carriage brought us 100 years ago. So an investment timescale beyond 20 or so years is wasteful.

If you need it explained to you then that's a whole other thread.

Actually, no need for a full thread. Let this be your study guide: http://www.templetons.com/brad/robocars/

All I can suggest to you is to keep reading sci-fi and hope for that future. I spent several years working at NASA, I know a little bit about what I am talking about.

Bottled air... Yep I can see it.
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

bottled "fresh air" and oxygen bars were on the market 15yrs ago in Aisa, specifically Japan. Try and keep up people, the future cant wait for you if your a decade behind.
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

The advent of "driverless" cars has been here since the 90's....Tons of research was done on it, miles of full scale roads built. Technology was shown as reliable and safe and yet NOBODY went for it.

Driverless cars will be in the future, but mass transit is here to stay

That's why your initial reaction against driverless cars was to rant about the flaws of alternative power sources. Even though they are entirely unrelated.
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

Driver-less cars should increase the efficiency of the roads which means MORE cars per day on the road.

At the same time, cars are becoming more and more efficient in energy consumption over time, but also important, they are cleaner and cleaner when it comes to ground level smog.

Best we can hope for is an energy and pollution wash IMO.

There will always be a place for transit/subways because not everyone can afford a car, never mind a driver-less one. Also, not everyone has the space for said car where they live. They may take a big bite out of things like medium distance travel (GO) but local transit will have its place, maybe even more so.

Should janitors be embarrassed about their jobs? Is the term an insult now, like calling someone gay or a prostitute? What if the person's job really is to clean up after others? I am confused.

Depends on how the comment is used, as you well know. Now take it elsewhere.

Now we need a new football stadium because fat ass went to a bombers game and liked it. This guy cracks me up.
