When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

    Probably those fancy electric and hybrid cars. In the meantime, I’ll be over here, clinging to my old gas-guzzling relic. Someday we’ll all be cruising in high-tech, earth saving, luxury SUVs.

        I reckon velomobiles are a better option if you want to have pedals. Otherwise just make it a mini electric car.

        Something like that would be awesome and solve a lot of problems, but it would need it’s own infrastructure, like separate lanes. Don’t want those on the motorway going 40kph, and would definitely not be good on the bike lanes either.

      Someday we’ll all be cruising in […] SUVs.

      God I hope not. These things are a nuisance in urban spaces and everyone would be worse off in your fantasy world, including the drivers.

      A brand new Prius starts at like $25k, which is about as cheap as a new car gets, I don’t think hybrid cars necessarily fall into the category of “rich people things”
