Here’s how we can save the car – and the planet at the same time

Major changes lie ahead for the passenger car industry.

Our entrenched reliance on – and attachment to – this method of travel means that, even if we shift away from such widespread car ownership, we need to change our perception of what cars are if we want to mitigate their high environmental costs.

New ideas needed?

How about a car where you can insert your cellphone in the dashboard where it can be charged at the same time instead of having messy charger wires and a stupid phone stand that sticks to the window?

One place to look for the future of the automobile is Tesla.

I'm guessing that this is part of a self park mechanism where you can get out of your car at your front door and send it 'home' to dock and charge in your garage.

What, and require Apple to stick to some kind of industry standard?
