| Abstract: | The Information society provides a challenge for the future of the automobile. This article, based on a two-year Swedish study as part of the MIT Future of the Automobile Programme, used four scenarios against which to predict the future of the car in Sweden. It concludes that, overall, information technologies will not substitute for travel, only for the information carried on paper; rather, future moves towards increasingly dispersed living will keep car usage high. |
