鈥�30 percent of cars would be enough鈥�
The rise of car sharing and self-drive electric vehicles could drastically reduce the number of cars on urban roads, according to Christian Hochfeld, head of new transport think tank Agora Verkehrswende*. 鈥淚f a city鈥檚 entire car fleet was shared and self-driving, only 20 to 30 percent of today鈥檚 cars would be necessary,鈥� Hochfeld said in an interview with Zeit Online. This would not necessarily translate into a massive fall in production for carmakers, because the cars would be used much more intensively, reducing their service life.
