^^This might be true in the future.
I always find these articles amusing though. They discuss cars going away completely but then forget about those who live miles away from anything. Their solution is always "well, those people will move to the city and enjoy public transportation". Yup, because that works SO well now.
CT implemented the FastTrak bus system in Hartford. The stops were not well planned, and not enough people ride the buses to make them worthwhile. All they did was add buses to the already backed up streets. One of my co-workers actually took the bus for a few weeks to save gas money, and found it took her much longer to get to and from work.
I'm sure with technology advancements public transportation and hybrid vehicles will start to have a much larger presence, but cars going away completely? Not a chance.
