Current Status of the Automobile Centric Society



There are visible signs of evidence showing the car culture has reached stagnation. Ever noticed that all strip malls are a similar shade of brown? Ever notice the stores are in the same place in every town? Ever notice the same stores are in every strip mall? Ever notice the same products are located in the same isles in the same stores?

Creativity has been replaced by replication. The unsustainability of the automobile centric society is evidenced by many layers of inertia.

 

A high number of people who live in the automobile centric society have an affinity to their car; this inanimate affection produces a fear to be without it. The inertia that resists change produces uncertainty and hostility against disruption. Mental anguish can push away ideas which promote anything different or new. New technology transit is disruptive innovation. 


New technology transit provides alternative methods of mobility but, does not remove the automobile. It increases efficiency of travel time and eliminates traffic jams. It is far less costly than the overall expense of the automobile and more efficient as a transportation system.


The clock is well into the 21
st century. Trains of the 19th century proved train tracks could carry loads of people and commerce. The 20th century gave a certain feel of independence with travel. And now, as urban growth expedites instability, the 21st century must prioritize travel demands to sustainable mobility.
