Last month, consummate car guy Bob Lutz—a former vice chairman of General Motors and champion of the game-changing Chevy Volt—shared his vision of fully automated vehicles (AVs) in Automotive News. In less than two decades, he claimed, interchangeable “modules” would provide trips on demand, humans would be banned from highway driving, and “everyone will have five years to get their car off the road or sell it for scrap.” advertisement advertisement Lutz isn’t the first to argue that automakers are doomed.

The Johns Hopkins study gathered data from 150 … [Read more...] about Global Bike Ownership Has Halved In Last 30 Years, But It Stands To Rise Again

Prakhar Misra and Sharmadha SrinivasanLast month, the Indonesian planning minister announced that the country is looking to move its capital from Jakarta to an undecided city with Palangkaraya being a prime contender. The main reasons cited for this move are the infrastructure woes of Jakarta—like congested streets and inadequate sewerage networks—and the threat of rising sea levels due to climate change. Indonesian policymakers will have to answer a barrage of questions on the purpose and functions of the new city in order for this move to be a success. This process and its implications will also serve as a precedent for other countries, India included.The National Development Planning Minister stated that among other reasons for this move, balancing the centre of growth in Indonesia away from Jakarta was important.
