And then I saw this article in the Telegraph by Matt Warman, a person who likes cars and driving. According to Warman, “Our lives are ruled by cars even if we don’t drive….and Google will end that era.” So, I’ll let him comment. And if you doubt whether it will happen, just remember, that while Google is now a large (and growing) part of the digital furniture, twenty years ago it did not exist - and a Googol was a number meaning 10^100.
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
