While some voices in governments and science claim that this is the right moment to transform mobility completely and move into a green society of electric autonomous driving, less aviation and more high-speed trains, others are more reluctant.
Given the tremendous rise in unemployment that’s occurred, people have less to spend. Many will continue driving their old diesel cars instead of opting for carsharing, which is difficult in social distancing terms anyway.
In order to make realistic decisions about the future, it is useful to understand human nature and not get lost in statistics. Humans wish to move. The car has been a symbol of mobility and freedom for the past century; even when stuck in traffic jams. History will move on beyond 2020. And we will see people continue to drive, mostly in a car with a conventional combustion engine.
