M.I.T. City Car
You mean will we stop using them? I think not. And Bjorn Lomborg, Director of Copenhagen Consensus Centre, agrees. Even with good public transport – that's bus and train services – he says we love our cars. What does he think the solution is?   
The solution is not, as many would like it to be, to cut back on cars because people want cars, the solution will have to be technological to find smart ways of getting less polluting cars and cars that can pack much tighter and get much more efficiently around town.
Right so the solution is technological. Better technology to make cars less gas guzzling, so using less fuel, which causes less pollution and they need to be smaller too.  Yes, one company is already designing an M.I.T. City car which actually folds. Another is designing a thinner car with two wheels – like a motorbike but more stable.
