As soon as car ownership stops being culturally associated with maturity and freedom - and that's probably never going to happen.


It's already happeneing. Many of us associate car ownership with immaturity, captivity, and a general sense of being annoying to oneself and others.

Each morning, during my bike commute, I see thousands of car-drivers stuck inside their cages, stopped in traffic, and I feel sad for these poor people; and at the same time annoyed for the enormous space they take, the noise they make, the pollution, and how ugly their absurd machines are.


It's seen as freedom because transit sucks.


So as soon as there's no money to be made in manufacturing cars.
