MX 82 Cars

Question: Will people still drive cars in 100 years?

Matthew / England
SpeakerI hope not. I hope if they are driving cars they are run on hydrogen or perhaps something else, electricity perhaps, but I really hope we don't use gasoline anymore.

Maiko / Japan
SpeakerI do think in 100 years people will be driving cars but probably not run by gasoline, but perhaps by other substances. Could be bio fuel or could be something more: nuclear energy or solar power.

Chris / England
SpeakerNo, I don't think so. I suppose it's projecting what  I want people to do but I'm a big believer in public transport and I think as public transport systems get better and faster and more effective, people will stop using their cars cause they are gonna get more expensive, so when you get into economies of scale, people are gonna realize they're gonna save money by using public transport, mass transit and things like that so in about 100 years I suppose they won't be using cars that often.

Helen / Canada
SpeakerYeah, I think they'll drive cars but I think the technology will be much more efficient. Hopefully we won't be using oil anymore. Hopefully we'll be using a much cleaner energy like maybe electricity or even solar-powered cars would be really cool but I think that's far off in the distant future.

Thomas / United States
SpeakerIn a 100 years, I don't think anybody will drive. I think we'll either be flying or we'll be riding on trains or boats. I don't think cars are going to last much longer.

Lyndsay / United States
SpeakerI think people will definitely drive cars in 100 years. I hope that the cars are more environmentally friendly. I do think that we're gonna have a gas shortage and an oil shortage and so therefore we're going to need to look for other methods to fuel a car, whether that be electricity or solar power or even vegetable oil. I don't know.
