Last time on the Brake, we chatted with authors Robert Braun and
Richard Randell about
why automobility isn't really about cars at all — and how it's
beocme what they call a "totalitarian system" that touches
virtually every part of our lives.
Today, we bring you part two of that conversation, and dive into
the difficult question of what a
world beyond automobility might look like — and
how on Earth we might get there. Would it be good enough to just
make automobility less destructive by equipping cars with batteries
and automated driving features? How different would our world look
if the evidence of automobility's violence wasn't immediately
hidden from the public eye? And could the tobacco industry serve as
an example for regulating not just the car itself, but the culture
that surrounds it?
