Transport is currently polluting, dangerous and inefficient. Technological advances have been stifled for decades by monetary protectionism. We should not burn any more fossil fuels. And we don’t need to today.

We have the renewable energy, the technology and the will to introduce emission free, driverless vehicles for virtually all our transport needs. NZ  currently has about 2 million cars. Most of which are old, poorly maintained and parked for 22 hours a day. The sharing of driverless cars would see our national fleet drop to approximately 50,000 cars.

Additionally when the  need for pointless work is removed there will be much less journeys required anyway.
