The most that can be said for self-driven cars is that they would eliminate the kind of tailgating-induced traffic jams that are currently prevalent on our motorways -congestion, of course, would still exist. Aside from being more environmentally friendly, these vehicles allow a much greater number of people to fit on the roads. It al­so showed me that so much of what we can be is sti­fled lit­er­al­ly by fear of the next mur­der.

Kwarteng and Dupont appreciate that the car can be a problem, both with regards to the environment, and congestion, but see its use as unavoidable, and also think that the problems involved with car journeys – pollution and traffic jams – will be sufficiently mitigated against by technological fixes of the kind described above. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Today almost all web pages contain JavaScript, a scripting programming language that runs on visitor's web browser. It examines the potential of dazzling innovations across the world, from the private sector space revolution to Google's new driverless cars. If we break away from the planners control, we can have roads that run freely and trains that arrive on time.

Criticism of transport planners seems to be a given and the little evidence points to plans made as far back as 1942.

This title looks at the timeless problems faced in transport, from traffic jams in Rome to Victorian road rage. Kwarteng and Dupont do not dismiss planning entirely, but they argue that as the models employed by planners are a mere guide to what might happen, and that planners are not omniscient, it is unwise to place as much weight on planning as we currently do. Such questions are particularly acute today, as Democrats and Republicans trade barbs over the do-nothing 106th Congress.You will notice that none of these ‘alternatives’ does anything to impede the use of the private motor vehicle. Aviation and automobiles also began as the expensive playthings of the rich, before technology improved and costs dropped enough to make them a practical option for mass transport.
